On the contrary Donkey Duke! If we had a third runway BA would have no problem with allowing US competition in, we'd have plenty of space for it then. What we do have a problem with is surrendering one sixth of our slots so that you and your Hillbilly Airlines can strut into LHR and undercut us all with your $10 billion dollars of federal aid and Chapter 11 protections, whilst maintaining your protectionist policies like "Fly America". I think we'd all welcome the day when you and your countrymen wish to compete on a level playing field.
