I wouldn't mind to be placed in EK C or F to be taken to DXB as my ongoing flight to CMB is already on EK.
One possibility is, that Y is over sold, and with the amount of elites in Y, might equal the same amount of seats in WT+,CW and F. So if BA zero's out all fare buckets than no more tickets will be sold. I would love to hear what happens with this.
