I can't see how you get 120 passengers. If there were 12 rows of CE on EDI-LHR (in which case Seņor Cruz will be reading up on the Urban Dictionary) then there would be 48 passengers, with 24 empty seats. Even on a 767 there won't be scope for much more, and it has a different seating logic anyway, the maximum blocked seats there is 15. Now on BA's other routes this works well, both CE and ET seat prices will go up to reap the benefit of constrained supply.
What actually will happen is that on peak services then DUT will be upgrading some ET passengers so that the ET cabin will be filled up - just as happens now elsewhere in Europe.
