given that BA is returning the A330s back to lessors with BD being integrated into them , as they are no longer part of Star Alliance but now within oneworld and acknowledging the unwillingness of BA to have stand-alone long-haul out of the regions, where is the need for them to "compete" with American especially when we have a AA-BA anti-trust immunity over the pond? All I can think of is that for whatever reason they may be codesharing with AA from day.
