Of course it will have been discussed, and it will be on a list of options being evaluated.
With the way large corporates work it's quite likely someone at board level has said the £400m of investment in CW is conditional on it being funded by cost savings elsewhere in the airline. Further cuts in the Y proposition (food, density, dumbing down to entry level staff) are all options that will be considered.
Of course we can pretend that it isn't happening but behind the spin someone will be looking at it and the cost savings that could accrue.
