... this is a UK 'G' registered aircraft operated by our national carrier.
Except that, we don't have a 'national' carrier. We have one carrier that is larger than all the others and is a former national airline having been privatised more than 20 years ago.

Of course, the BA Board and PR machine love it when you say that they are 'our' airline. They are majority owned British PLC that are starting a subsidiary to operate between Europe and the USA, so as to spread their operations and risk further than just the UK, hence the flags. This is not BA as such, hence the disagreements with BALPA.
