As for your friend's preference for British Airways, all I have to say is look at the current debacle at Heathrow -- BA seems to have a complete system breakdown at least once a year. And BA pilots have voted to strike later in the spring. So more chaos is likely. Caveat emptor, which may also mean the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I do agree about Air Canada's food. Needs to be upgraded.
