Good points. BA was actually planning to add more perks to the Concorde program and steamline a few things. Air France killed it. They should have both commited to NY-London. Period. The jets were built already. That cost was covered. So the jets existed anyway, why not make money with them ?

The US was trying to build a mach 3 , 300 seat machine with swing wings and the rest of it. They bit off way more than they could chew. So they turned over the chess board by banning the Concorde over land.
