Incidentally, I believe 'outsourcing' of at least some of BA's current short haul work is inevitable in the long term. It is one reason why I believe it was a mistake to offer cost savings from longhaul when BA had a particular figure in mind for shorthaul. We gave something away for nothing there, because BA will be back for the rest of that shorthaul money, and if they don't get it they'll 'outsource'.
