Someone on FB just said UCS is being pulled altogether, I thought it was a temp reduction. This really would push me to BA though I would rather not.

Wouldn't have thought so, at the moment there is only 2 planes without Upper in the fleet - how are 2 planes going to do 5 flights a day at peak time.
Most of the flights I have been on in the last 2 or 3 years to MCO, around 10 or 11, have been (apart from 1) full in Upper.
Hopefully somebody being mischevious, or putting 2 and 2 together and getting 0! - it would certainly turn me to BA

Are they all paid upper though? You might be on planes that have light ticket sales in Upper, but are full to capacity (so lots of upgrades...). In which case, a two class configuration (they can probably get more seats in) makes sense....

Been going 12 years on the trot from both LGW and MAN and always seen a full seatmap about a month before, only opups I saw were the odd 14 a/k or two.

Can't see UCS being totally pulled EGG. The afternoon MAN flight is still a 747, as is the later return from MCO. Plus IIRC the LGW flights are still on a 747.
They all have UCS onboard.

There are 2 x daily flights to MCO on the new A330 the other 1/2/3 flights (depending on day) are on 747's.
One is operating the daily MAN, the other is eithe doing one of the LGW flights or the GLA, again depending on date/load numbers.
