The BA mainline service to Warsaw is being moved from Heathrow to Gatwick at the same time. Sounds mad to me too, but there should be sufficient business pax hacked off by this to justify an LCY service provided the times are appropriate. If the experience of the Milan route, doing it as an off-peak "filler" only, is any indication, however, it may backfire.
Yes, BA have been beaten by Air One operating at "proper" business times (and to a proper business airport in Milan).
Regarding VLM, it is right they seem to be stagnating at LCY and cutting off-peak flights on all routes - even their flagship Rotterdam operation has nothing between 11am and 4pm now.
