Well they now have good experience of old 321's now and I am sure they won't have been pleased with the ones at BHX until they changed their schedule to a 3 aircraft operation using 4 aircraft on rotation. The solution has worked well but hardly an ideal situation and the original schedule was 4 active A321's on most days. I doubt that this was a load-related decision from looking at the CAA stats and local knowledge.
