This could ultimately mean scrapping one of their x4 daily flights from LHR, giving connecting passengers a lot less choice, and making the operation a lot more inefficient.
Normally that would be true, but with BA being so capacity constrained at their hub it wouldn't be such a bad thing to divert some passengers around it. I'm surprised we haven't seen them make a meaningful effort to get people in the UK regions to use Dublin and Madrid as hubs.

The other risk, of course, would be that they started regions to PRG and started inadvertently feeding into Czech's network...
