Well done BA , and presumeably well done WW. Two good decsions in a month , this one and Captain B so perhaps behind the hard bastard CEO image is still a spark of the young man who wanted to fly airliners.
As to the livery it has to be this one , as others have said it is the right liverly for when the lovely 75 arrived and it looks great in it and of course it goes back to the day when memories of BEA/Short Haul were not far distant and in BA service the 75 was very much part of that operation, Suggestions of it being in BOAC livery would be ridiculous.( Maybe should have done that on the first 777-300?)
Moving onto Mr Ayling , it was a stupid decsion on the tails , diluted the brand done one the scale he chose. Had they just picked a few aircraft for the idea witha few key markets represented it would I think have worked well, all the positives and no negatives. Also he broke the Boeing stranglehold on BA by going for the A320 which from a passenger ' point of view is much much better than the 737 with more elebow room and beettr cabin ergonomics so he wasnt a complete idiot.
Driving by LHR today and maybe I will be lucky and get a glimpse-shame terminal 2 isnt still around ( not as a user of course) BAA could have organised a Euro retro day and turned the clock back even further.
