To a degree, but BA inherited the travel contract for the NICS ( and carry much of the parliamentary traffic ) in addition to the bread-and-butter integration with the long-haul departures. I don't see that they compete much for the point-to-point casual traffic covered by Easyjet / FlyBE, so their fares are fairly irrelevant.
