Again, possibly unlikely, since there's really no political will to stand up to BA.
They are a private company and not a charity - what do you expect? It is however they who are proposing - along with others - the 3rd short runway purely for such domestic routes.

With x slots and y aircraft with z costbase, making money for PRIVATE investors, do you expect a charity handout to support a route that makes less money than a longhaul one?

Answers to "I would like to be the next airline bankruptcy".

(I apologise for my brashness, but what sort of cost base do you expect from a formerly cosseted, state-owned company, that is expected to go it alone with the constraint of unions and achieve realistic, lower costbase?)
