That is a huge strategic move (not neccesarily a good one......). So does that also mean a reduction in flight crew (and groundstaff, back office staff etc)?
However more importantly:
1) Will BA now lose its slots at LGW (surely it will - more orange to come then!) and will not get them back for next summer?
2) BA will have to give up its ground handling license at LGW (1 of 5 in total)?.....so more redundancies there!
Farewell BA LGW - been some fun years, but thats it!
