Posturing and hot air
If BA thinks that a premium service across the pond is such a good idea, why don't they simply reconfigure a few B757s or 777s and fly them from LHR where they have the slots, the crews etc and presumably, no objection from the pilots?
Just what makes it so commercially attractive to them to start a new airline, effectively, and fly from non UK airports?
I fail to see the purpose of such a questionable enterprise in these increasingly expensive and constrained economic circumstances.
I would hazard a guess that in a few months the whole exercise will result in it being quietly folded up and swept into oblivion, never to see the light of day again.
Result, status quo reigns and lots of money wasted by both BA and BALPA, again.
