Well BA do have the EDI, GLA and ABZ domestic runs that won't be operating, so that's room for about 15 services at a minimum but I envisage they'll want them to be putting some long-haul routs on those slots. If they did choose to run some long-haul out of MAN, I wonder if they would "abuse" a 777 or 747 by operating them on our routes so passengers would only have to be informed of making their way to LGW and flown on a "connecting" service instead of making their own way to MAN with the inbound long-haul pax going to approximately where they want to be after connecting at MAN. I can't see the point of them running all the LHR long-haul out of LGW as there would be, I imagine, no room to park them all.
