Hei again,
The choice is still not obvious. The current situation is on the 7th the LGW-MCO flight has 30 actuals empty and very few staff listed for it so is a very good chance. The BA209 has about 40 empty and about 15 staff listed and the BA207 has about the same. Based upon the current situation unless loads of other staff suddenly appear I think that you would get on any of the flights but no guarantees of course.
In respect of booking rent-a-car have you made plans? If not Alamo offer a very good rate for Airline staff using rate ID code RP. This is very good if you have more that one driver as you get up to 3 extra drivers and a full tank of fuel included in the rate. You can reserve it online at <a href="http://www.alamo.com" target="_blank">http://www.alamo.com</A> and you only have to pay when you collect the vehicle in the USA ( useful if you might get bumped or have to go to a different destination ).
If you need any more info then let me know.
I will check the flights again at the start of next week and advise if there are any significant changes.
Rgds
