Some valid points are made. If the Airbus deal is true, 10 out of 10 to BA for make the best out of a bad situation.
The 'SP' is that AF wanted and needed to stop flying Concorde. With declining passengers numbers and rising costs, coupled with aircraft hours getting critical towards big checks, BA had to stop too.

PR machine would say Concorde was young in flying hours, but the reality was she was 27 years old, and a nightmare for the engineering teams. They BA engineers would tell you that 2007 was the best you could have expected.
