That seems a little hysterical. It is quite clear that they are challenging it due to the absolute mess the Govt have made of not bothering with a quarantine when it was needed then chucking in a half arsed effort just as things are starting to get better, with most of the countries around the UK being a lower risk than we are. In other words they are needlessly penalising the travel industry no no appreciable gain in terms of Covid transmission risk. If this was implemented in March/April I'd be inclined to agree with your statement if BA were on about legal action then.
As for the taxpayers money/layoffs/new contracts, I am rather less on side with BA in that matter, I feel like they are trying to push things way too far in the cost savings department.
