Looking for some feedback on this flight from my DIS buddies. Some of you know I have been very anti BA for about a decade now and the only reason we are flying with them this year is because their flight sale last year made this year's trip possible (so I'm not going to be too judgemental!)
Anyway I have two questions:
I'm just trying to figure out how it is that on particular flight can be consistently so incredibly late more than 80% of the time (yes I've been tracking them daily for months now
as well as monitoring the Flight Stats ontime performance rating (which currently stands at a whopping 0 out of 5 stars) 
Despite it being an afternoon arrival, I have decided to estimate our resort check in time for 8 pm so as not to feel we have had any plans disrupted but with a rather tainted history of BA experiences it is taking a conscious effort on my part to give BA a fair chance in terms of my attitude
Anyway I have two questions:
- I see that this flight lands at MCO about 20 minutes (on a good day) after a VA flight. How badly does this impact on the immigration time? There is no way all those passengers from VA are going to have passed through immigration before the BA folk start to stream through the hall!
- WHY is it that this flight seems to land on time on average once every 6 days with a significant number of landings every week being in excess of an hour late?
