(3) A350s coming online with no F currently.

BA may also decide to hold back from releasing F inventory for Avios until closer to departure to see how the F loads are.

Interesting analysis. Understand your point.

At the same time, will there be any milage in BA keeping long standers engaged with releasing miles product? History tells us probably not.

My personal plans aside, I hope BA recover the business model and sell solid product but it feels questionable just now. Even folks who spent a lifetime in the wing seem be reviewing their commitment to it just now.
