BA will have to keep advertising and promoting their own services until such time as they hand over to Flybe, I would be very surprised if BA continuing to actively promote their routes until the handover wasn't part of the initial agreement, and if it was you can bet your bottom dollar someone out there in Flybeland will be monitoring how many ads are about and where.
