Things must be going down hill with OS and their 'Premium Cabin. They are now reconfiguring their 757's to a 3 class operation.
BA OpenSkies starting 19JUN12 is introducing re-configured Boeing 757 service, which will see the addition of Economy Class service, dubbed as “Eco Class”. “Biz Seat”, will be renamed as “Prem Plus”.
The configuration is J20 W28 Y66.
Good luck to them, hope this works. Time will tell

I think this is the last roll of the dice I'm afraid.

Well that sounds just like any other airline, except they are using a B757 against Air France's economies of scale + fuel usage from using the A380 on CDG-JFK.
What's the USP now? OK, an alternative choice of airports, but hardly putting all the force of the BA admin system into a 3 hull operation serving just one route is it?
