Why they couldn't figure out how to move the outbound a couple of hours earlier (like AMM) I don't quite know- but its clear that they're barely completing on Israel at this point.

I moved from many years of being a BA Gold to AF Platinum about 18 months ago... very good decision. I happily take LY (or AF via CDG) to London now. So much better than sitting in a garbage Club Europe seat for nearly 6h.

To answer your question directly, however, I'd expect these times to be fixed at least for the duration of the winter schedule.
