BA's don;t have any of their LGW LH fleet sitting around - if they are not flying, they are not earning! So to open up new LH routes, they need more air frames, to do that - taking them from LHR is a bad idea as the business routes they mostly serve gain more revenue then leisure routes. They can, and have wet lease aircraft to run on Gatwick routes, only BA's Bean Counters and Mangers will know the cost of doing that, but it can only be a short term solution for obvious reasons.
