My guess would be an increase in EC service ORY-JFK-ORY to twice daily, with one ex-AO plane being converted, then the other.

IIRC the L'Avion planes have PW rather than RR engines, and may not even be exactly the same model as each other, let alone the one BA uses. Since BA is planning on cutting capacity, maybe we'll see a couple more BA 757's shifted to EC and the ex-L'Avion planes being parked or sold?
