Just for the record at the time of BOAC/BEA merger BOAC did in fact serve other pats of the UK. - MAN & PIK with B707s & VC10s to YYZ, YUL & JFK not forgetting BFS, EDI & ABZ with Viscount 700s as feeders into PIK. That said, its sad that loyal BA PAX from the 'other parts' are being treated as second class citizens by the once national airline and that their custom appears not to be worth anything. I also feel very sorry for all the staff out there likely to be axed. - I shall now look to *alliance carriers for my own travel until there is sea-change by WW etc.
