Honestly, I think that will only work if AS dumps BA. I do not think there is enough feed from AS to fill two jumbos going to LHR. BA has feeder traffic on both ends [from AS and their LHR hub], so they can support this route with no issue.
DL, OTOH, will only have feeder traffic on one end that will be split with BA making it more challenging to make any serious dough on this route.
AMS/CDG is a different story since they have plenty of feeder traffic on both ends and minimal competition on those routes.
