This demonstrates a fundamental misapprehension of what BA is about. Longhaul premium is BA's main business. Even within BA longhaul, the total bums-on-seats number is less important than the rather smaller bums-on-premium-seats number. So who cares how many bums FR gets on flights of only 2-3 hours in length? Comparing that to BA's bums-on-seats number is comparing chalk and cheese. Only someone with a very superficial idea of what these two airlines are about (or, alternatvely, someone who manipulates these numbers for FR's
PR department) could get excited about such a comparison.
