while I agree BA schedules slot sitters my experience has been they either fly both ways (GLA can sometimes benefit), this behaviour of an empty and and PAX back I have not seen except perhaps around covid restrictions at the destination. Maybe some cityline position flights to get them out of LCY for a weekend

Could you share some current examples at LHR? I am interested in exploring the operations
