I've got a flight in September that after checking is now showing as operated by DAT - specifically on the tired looking A321. Joy. I also had the weird seat map moving in row 1 kicking us out of 1A / 1C into 1C / 1D. It's the first rotation with the second about 1h30 after it so whilst I'd like to keep the first flight for timings, I'll likely see if BA will change it for the second.
How set in stone is the timetable for the wet lease seeing as this is 5 months in advance, would hate to change it and find out later the original flight goes back to BA, or similar the flight I move changes to DAT!

The short answer is that it isn’t. It may change again. The timetable is how BA presently intends to deploy the wetlease. However, you can change your flight now to avoid DAT and, if it turns up again, change again in the future. You don’t mention the route. If the flight is time critical, you might want to hedge a little and wait and see how things turn out closer to departure.

BA using Danish Air Transport
I was checking my flights from GLA-LHR-AGP in September and October and noticed that BA now have the AGP-LHR using Danish Air Transport. Does anyone know what this airline is like. Reviews do not look good.

Thanks for the heads up, just spotted that my flight to CFU has been switched to Dat, and had the random seat move from 1DF to 1CD, all with no notification. I'll be interested to see if anyone manages to do a switch to a flight that's earlier/later in the day than one that's either side of the original time.

I had a LHR to ATH with partner in July along with my parents on a separate booking, Was offered a switch to any BA flight of the day FOC. We had been moved from 1A as part of the Dat change to 2C & D so moving to 9A & C on the earlier flight was the total price paid.

Refunds not allowed and origin and dest change is not permitted neither. Maybe I got called at wrong time! I will try again.
