Long term improvement plan for BA short haul.
1. Back, and build, Boris Island.
2. Move BA to Boris Island first. (But look how they are opening T2. Do not do a T5 again, please)
3. Run as many flights as you like in the first few years as the Omani/Saudi owners of Boris Island will give you cheap slots for the first few year.
Get Boris to ban Unite and Balpa from Boris Island. Make it a "Right to Work" Island
5. Flog off Thiefrow to HKG based developers who will pay more for it than it is worth as an airport. HKG developers know how to make money from property.
6. Do a deal with EZY to own, manage and run your short haul connectors to your long haul. Do not let BA management manage it.
