They are getting newer 738s in all due to them.

I have to say, I've hopped the pond in a 2-month old BA 77W before and flown back on a 744 that is nearly the same age as me. For some reason it was comforting knowing it had done that many long haul trips over the years! 

With FR - I think it's more a case of pilot workload and the fact they've had some near fuel starvation issues that worries me more than anything.

Yes but the only change to the passenger is the Sky Interior-otherwise it's the same!
Unlike Ryanair which I flew with last week to Dublin, the 12 year old plane was no where near as good as the 3 months old plane I had back!
