Agreed - many of the 737s are in a shocking state inside.
Various conspiracy theories about BA and GB abound. Has anyone considered that there might be an alternative option? BA LGW has 33 737 hulls, of which 19 are owned 737-436s and the other 14 are a mixed bag of leased 737-300s and -500s. Surely there is a more simple explanation that the 14 Airbuses will replace the 14 leased 737s?
