GO was set up to chase a different market from mainline. They went for budget travellers when BA was still only interested in high yield. Brymon never operated anything above 100 seats and BRAL only had 4 BAe 146s which were permitted under the 2003 Scope agreements.

On the other hand, OS is set up to chase premium transatlantic passengers, which sounds remarkably similar to BA mainlines business plan.
