Could have been a real moneyspinner for BA if they'd been a little more brave about how much they loaded onto the flight.
Remember that this is nothing to do with service for customers or even earning money. This is only about removing a cost center, not having a liability and placing the financial risk of sales onto a third party. Flying short haul aircraft is now cheaper for BA, cost cutting is part of their DNA.
