    TLDW: doesn’t matter that BA is cutting this service, because it has a metal-neutral joint venture with AA on the route.

      It matters because it's nice to see their planes at DFW.
      Large cargo volumes moving through the airport. Yes can see big UPS aircraft there. But there is much cargo carriage in the bellies of the passenger aircraft.
      So there is cargo volume for BA from London Heathrow to DFW.

    Live in DFW, never took British Airways since American always has cheaper nonstop prices, and connecting flights on Middle Eastern airlines are much more convenient and reliable.
