I don't see it as absorbing the baby fleet. It won't be for expansion circumstances, merely replacement. This will most likely happen when baby ceases operations. As the airline no longer exists and this point, I don't see a consequence. BA are simply using aircraft that IAG would otherwise had to pay storage on and in the process replacing aircraft that are required to have major overhauls in the not so distant future. It has nothing to do with personnel in my opinion.
