The LHR-HKG route has been a bloodbath for some time. At it's peak there were 3xBA, 4xCX, 2xVS, 1xQF and 1xNZ on the route each day. Nobody was making money on it! Now it's down to 2xBA, 4xCX, 1xVS and yield is coming back. Unfortunately many airlines will now stay on a route to try to keep market share when there's little profit involved, hoping the rivals will pull out.
TS - Best of luck. I'm sure you know there's no age limit at BA Mixed Fleet and I've flown with older guys than yourself.
