@brakedwell sums it up.

Of course BA is basically profitable (and long may it stay so)...

Unfortunately the elephant in the room is the pension black hole. Any potential long term investors are going to look at those numbers and run for cover. Some form of restructuring of BA is inevitable and when it comes it will cause a lot of pain.
