How I hope BA knows what it's doing, and that I'll be proven wrong.
Actually, most of the carriers you mention above do have a Saturday night stay when the journey starts in the home market.
LH for example want £1715.40 for a midweek return starting in FRA.
Likewise BA do not mandate a Sat night stay for journeys starting in Europe so your point holds no water.
