How many of us actually have serious loyalty to BA for short-haul flights? I know I don't! If another airline has better timings, or better fares, I'm there.

Many aspects of T5 are a real PITA, so I can completely understand why someone might find "one more minor inconvenience" enough to give up BA@T5 and go elsewhere - particularly for s/h flights.
