The reason I pose the question is that there seems to be a disproportionately large amount of complaints on the mid-haul routes (take the monster TLV thread for instance). I had assumed from this that the mid-haul model was not working for BA, so a return to the long-haul and European operations may be a better bet when working from a slot constrained base with a limited mid-haul fleet.
