British Airways dropping DFW?

[Greg]

OK, rumors seem to be all over the map here. AA is moving one MIA-LHR flight to DFW in late-October, with BA picking up that MIA flight. In return, we have several rumors or variations -

1.BA drops DFW entirely, with AA operating all 4-5 daily DFW-LHR flights as part of their joint venture.
2. BA keeps DFW-LHR, and AA simply adds one more frequency, giving them 4x daily DFW-LHR and 1x daily on BA
3. BA keeps DFW-LHR, and AA simply adds one more frequency, giving them 4x daily DFW-LHR and 1x daily on BA but instead of 747 it goes back to 777-200.

OAG and the BA website still show BA192/193 operating into November, December, and beyond - but some say the changes will be loaded into Sabre this weekend. I've asked DFW's PR people if they've heard anything.

What are your thoughts?

I guess they're not leaving after all but will down gauge to 772. Which is a bummer, I was hoping for the whale

Yes by all accounts now we will have 4x daily AA (1 772, 3 773) to LHR and a BA 772.
