To my mind, it is obvious what is happening here. Helvetic's pax numbers on CWL are pretty awful, and they are trying a double drop to make up numbers - I would guess they have some sort of contractual obligation with CWL to operate for a period of time, and to offset losses in the meantime, they are running a combined route.

What if this works? Good for both. If BRS is great, well at the end of some predetermined period, that would be it for CWL.

This proves the point that a lot of people have been making, but sadly too many people don't want to hear it, such is their blind spot re CWL - the market is small, highly focused and highly seasonal. That alone explains Baby's good decision.
