Why is the transfer of BA services to Vuelling worthy of serious concern? It might not happen quite like that....
There will be routes with a high percentage of transfer traffic and where the British Airways brand is important that would probably at least on paper stay with BA from a brand point of view. It may be worth retaining Club on some routes too - although when I last travelled Marseille-London on a weekend flight everyone in Club was travelling on miles- a huge outlay for no return.
But on most routes surely a fleet of identical aircraft, with identical configuration service levels and ultimately crew T&Cs gives IAG ultimate operational flexibility whatever it says on the outside of the aeroplane- that has to be an advantage business/costs wise.
