Ah ok, I was wondering since it only looked 10 minutes or so late to me. Have the gate said anything yet? I see 20B, 26D, 27C and 32C available,
plus any staff travel can result in them going to jump seats . For IDB, there is usually a voluntary scheme which is nearly as good as IDB, so I would hope they give you that, though the CE / ET bit is problematic here. They are supposed to do volunteers first, and if the gate is aware of a childcare issue they are supposed to find someone else anyway. I'd be checking for hotels under £200 at this point (and probably resisting PSA booking something for you).
(I realise this is a Finnair wet lease so that would prevent BA staff going on jump seats as I understand it)
