That was more to do with number shuffling and how costs were split / allocated. Sure many, incl BA staff, will back up MAN did OK for BA...it just didn't fit their future hub plans. Like I said a decision that BA now has to live with as millions and millions of UK travelers choose to fly from MAN, and the regions, on foreign carriers instead. I'd say that is a big worry for BA, a worry that will only get worse and worse for them...and harsh as it may sound personally I have not got one smidgen of sorrow for them.
Considering it did not take a genius to work out where LHR was headed, I'd say it was a mistake and short sighted by BA HQ to put all its eggs in one over crowded basket, and how long before we possibly get another runway at LHR...15/20 years !!
