While I understand the idea behind the leisure routes from LCY where BACF has no LC/IT competition, what is the concept behind flights from places like EDI, DUB, BHX, STN where BACF is competing with airlines operating to the same destinations with 180-220 seaters? I see the need to keep the Embraers flying when they are not needed/allowed at LCY, but can this really make money? Can BACF charge a considerable premium for flights on the "BA" brand and on a somewhat more comfortable, smaller aircraft so that the higher operating costs for a 100seater are offset?
