Hi Dutchbird-757
You don't say from which 'different forum' your quote is taken, nor from what date "the next six weeks" runs. However, and I admit speaking with absolutely no inside info, I suspect the clue to the future is given in this passage:
evaluations continue with the potential BAe RJ extension or fleet renewal options available to us.
In the current economic circumstances, BA are, very sensibly, blocking any major capital expenditure. The near future is looking pretty grim. This is absolutely not the time to be splashing the cash!
With respect to the E190: How many seats it 'normally' flies with is more significant than how BACF choose to configure it. (Normally 98 I believe?)
Of course, extending the RJ100 in service also comes with some crewing issues for BA to resolve!
