Others have mentioned that the boarding experience is no different on BA than on easyJet. I think this remark remains true for departures ex BA airports. BA have jetties for the most part. But when you get to airports like LPL and BRS that have heavy LOCO presence, the BA comparison is duff.
I've been to LPL on a Winters night and you are practically outside in the queue before the aircraft has come to the gate. This won't change. There is an immense focus on OTP, to the point where weekly there is a league table of airports stats. Airports need to get the plane away on so punctually. Carolyn makes a point on saying the best performers per week. These stats are used when negotiating and dealing with airports and handling agents. Sadly, with such a lean operation, I dont see any of this changing anytime soon.
