I think it's getting simpler, the differentiation in service levels between carriers is becoming less and less. BA is just following the leads set by Easyjet (take what you like on board as long as you can lift it) and Ryanair (checked baggage is a profit centre). It's getting to be the only difference between the carriers is how much you pay (Ryanair < Easyjet < BA), and whether they are late/cancelled or not (Ryanair better than Easy better than BA).
