I don't think SOU was mentioned instead of STN but in addition to!
There are plenty of spare BA aircraft not flying over the weekend from LCY and that's not including the ones deployed at STN so SOU in my view and also of others that a SOU weekend operation could be viable.
And BTW Swaythling is actually in Southampton not one a mile way as you suggest as its a suburb of the City of Southampton, its approximately one mile from Southampton Airport though just a five minute drive up Wide Lane from Swaythling!
