I would be very surprised as it's not BA that operate from LCY but BA CityFlyer with a much cheaper cost base. I doubt BA and BE are working at all together here! LCY has the highest proportion of Gold and Silver Exec club holders of any destination, the quickest way to hack them off would be to palm off the rather impressive product to flymaybe.
This is a new management direction at flybe being buffeted by events rather than controlling them. They had no choice but to leave their long established market at LGW as they needed the cash injection but having done so they are missing the London market. Where to go? Not LGW/LHR so one from SEN/STN/LTN/LCY, they chose LCY. Against an aggressive and dominant BA.
