really interesting direction this thread has taken. i hadn't considered the fact that fixed costs don't scale directly with the business size (eg finance on owned airframes where the airframes themselves have significantly devalued) which will make the business fail at a certain revenue level that would be generating good profits for a smaller business. however the slots at LHR arent part of that, if BA can't utilise them and they have to use it or lose it, then it's time to sell the slots.
