I must say BA providing evidence of low loads does seem to contradict an argument that the cancellation wasn't due to commercial reasons.
An anecdote that might help. We travelled to Venice on 9th July. First wing check in. There were about 15 people on the plane. We were in an ET exit row seat and were brought champagne to celebrate, the crew (and us) were delighted to be flying again. So low load for sure but BA were running short haul services that date.
