I don't think BA will ever publish a list of names and why should they?!!? The media would have been hounding them straight after the event if they did!
I heard that the media had already found out the names of the pilots before BA announced it. The media often use very underhand tactics to extract information so it is in the crews best interests that they remain hidden. Chances are that the media might know names already but the media moves fast and even though they did a fantastic job they are never going to generate the same levels of interest within the media as the pilots did.

I am sure that BA will recognise them in someway although this will probably take some time as I imagine they will wait for the full AAIB report before doing anything else.
