As a frequent user of Continental I can confirm that it is nearly always full and provides a service at least equal to, if not better than BA, with an aircraft that has a much better reliability record than BA's tired 767 which (from first hand experience of arriving 31 hours late and missing a day's work) is pretty poor.
Give me Continental every time.
BA obviously aren't interersted in offering non-premium customers from the regions direct services to the places they want to go to. They'd rather shuttle them through an already over-streched LHR on smaller and smaller aircraft. From nearly all 757 and occasional 767 its now 757, 737 and 320/319. What are they playing at?
As an aside, MAN is becoming overcrowded at the busy times of day. More apron is needed now not in 5 years when you've lost all your traffic because they were fed up waiting half an hour plus for a stand.
BA said they would up their services when "their" terminal was built. Not convinced that has happened.

What's happening with the BA MAN-JFK service.
I tend to check ceefax page 448 to see what's going on.
A few days ago the inbound to UK flight was flagged with an indefinite delay.
The following day the service was cancelled and when I went to work there it was, the 767 was parked remote doing nothing.
Strange or what?

It was either Sun or Mon morning's JFK-MAN 1502 which was delayed. It arrived at about luchtime via Shannon and that day's 1503 was cancelled as was the return 1502 the next day.
It ran the day after though.
Told you it was unreliable!
