I suppose that the topic of whether to introduce a new narrowbody mid-hauler will eventually arrive in a few year's time; however parts of me think they might just get rid of them and be done with it. I've got nothing to back me up on this but my hunch, and I've always found that those A321s were, for BA, a bit of an acquired taste and too did the routes they plied. Of the former BMI routes, the overwhelming majority (ALA, GYD, TBS, EVN and I guess there were others) have gone. It'd be a shame, because I would definitely see a fit for an A321neoXLR at BA. There might not be the market or the interest for its routes, though.
