Would BA be that affected as they are basically now a Spanish Airline?. In fact I believe the only predominately British Airline is now Jet 2, even Easyjet is arguable depending on where Stelios declares himself resident.
Apart from the timetables you also have to look at the investment, for example Lufthansa has around $1bn worth of value tied up in its LHR slots - I'm not sure they would be that keen on seeing that flushed away by politicians playing games in Brussels.
