Why should you? I thought this was still a place to discuss rumours and gossip about BA, and had not yet become a place where only positive nice things about BA are said? There are two alternative views out there about why Silla Maizey has been sent to LGW. There are those who more likely hoping it is for the happy or more positive one. Silla might even be able to successfully ramp up the operation, in which case the outcome will still be happy.

However, the folks I am hearing this from have rarely been wrong about stuff at BA. This might be a first time.. but if I didn't not have confidence in them, I wouldn't have mentioned what they had said on here.

In the end, it will be what it will be. Either LGW will be successful financially or it will not. If it's not, I'm guessing we'll see a scaling back on SH services, and it will be used predominantly for those LH services which BA doesn't want to stop, but also are not high enough priority to move to LHR. I suspect that the loss of the third runway at LHR has stopped BA being able to close LGW entirely, as they need it as a relief airport. But with that, we're moving from what I've heard to my conjecture
