160 to 4 and where do they draw down these additional 321s from.
Btw BA are restoring a few rotations each day from the start of the northern winter.
imho BA really aren’t that interested in bums on seats but rather yield achieved per ticket and let’s face it current ticket prices are for on the spot/ next day travel are ludicrous.
Remember many onboard are simply connecting beyond Heathrow and the booked domestic portion of their fare could well be well below the cost base .
With high levels of connectors its inevitable the on the spot fares are so high as these are necessary to create adequate revenue and was ever thus - other than the period up to the early 2000s when the real shuttle services operated.
Today it’s not a shuttle service in any name whatsoever.
Can you walk up go straight to the gate pay there and then and board a departure within a hour - Not on your nelly !
