None of my alerts have triggered yet.
They haven't triggered because your flight is still scheduled to operate, there has evidently been no schedule change or aircraft change, and you still have a valid reservation and (presumably) ticket for the flight.
More importantly, don't expect any of these necessarily to trigger even if the flight is formally cancelled. EF alerts are not good at detecting this. If you look at recent posts on the EF help thread, you'll see some recent discussion about this.
Your best bets will probably be:
- To set a J>0 or Y>0 alert for your flight, to tell you if/when BA puts the flight back on sale.
- To set a J<1 or Y<1 alert for the inbound flight of that rotation, to give you some warning if/when BA starts the process of cancelling the rotation.

From 27 March 2022, the rotation is scheduled to operate daily. LHR-HYD is off sale throughout April; and HYD-LHR is on sale only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. BA is holding some reservations on flights that are zeroed and off sale, because (like your own reservation) you can see that there are some pre-allocated seats on the flights that are currently off sale. This reinforces the position: BA seems not to have decided yet what to do with these flights, and is not taking any more bookings - but they have not (yet) been cancelled.
