Not at all surprising - BA have always hinted that they were taking the aeroplane seriously and given that they are already an Airbus customer (Boeing monopoly broken at last) it was really just a matter of time.
As BA have said in the past, though, they just don't want to be launch customers for any new type - let someone else have the delays.
