Except when BA decide they are really busy and plonk someone between you in the middle seat and the only difference to Y is the “meal”.

Happened to me and +1 on LHR-FCO

That’s not when BA decide they are really busy.
They only do this when there has been an outage and significant IRROPS across the entire short haul fleet and then they will use the middle seats.
It’s unfortunate that it happened to you but it’s rare and nothing to do with being busy.
