I'm currently contemplating on whether to go down the CEDR/MCOL route with one claim. In the first reply, BA insisted on adverse weather conditions. When I provided elements indicating that this wasn't the case (notably by the observation that competitors operated their flights), BA moved away from weather conditions to ATC reducing the number of departures from Heathrow.

I'm still not convinced that a reduction of rotations is inherently an extraordinary circumstance as BA can prioritise larger aircraft in an attempt to avoid the increased costs of accommodating a larger amount of passengers. I'm currently sifting through flight data to see whether my hypothesis that BA prioritised large airplanes over smaller one is correct.

Any thoughts?
