Time will tell if BA do actually judge aircraft types on merit, or whether the company executives get nice kick-backs from Mr. Boeing. Will BA take the only logical step and order some A380s?
I don't understand how one can say BA is anti-Airbus. That very large number of new A319s/A320s/A321s must be a mirage. It makes sound commercial sense for the airline to have a foot in both camps. It seems clear to me that BA are going Airbus for Europe/UK and Boeing for long haul.
