What is known and been quoted by WW and other members of the management team is:
There will be NO cuts in Longhaul Services ex LHR or LGW.
A total of 5% of the total LHR/LGW shorthaul schedule. Will be cut.
The 15-20% LGW shorthaul cuts was a rumour and at no time have been planned.
Flights that are cut will be on destanations with high frequency of service.
Minimising the impact to frequent business travellers.
Also Richard Tams head of BA corperate sales had this to say about BA flying empty planes to keep slots.
"BA will also NOT operate so called ghost flights to keep slots."
Nothing has been mentioned about aircraft orders but this does not mean it won't form part of the August 1st Announcement
