Yes I know BA does not operate direct flights to FLL, hence the introduction of this new route sooner or later. As for 767 coming to LGW, it was mentioned by a manager.
The runway in FLL is not long enough to accomodate the 777 so will be operated initially on the 767 until the runway is extended over a 5 year period currently in process with the FAA.

LGW being the new premium leisure hub, NAS, PLS and GCM will eventually move to LGW and will be operated on the 767.

As for crew training, it has been mentioned that crew operating the LCY-JFK on the airbus will not be trained on it, leaving the crew with 777 and 737 licences to be trained on the 767.

Watch this space, like Silla said, big changes coming to LGW.
