Given the highly litigious nature of BAs lawyers I suspect they'll fight any claim of liability, no matter how tenuous. Coughing up cash to pay for the (unproven) criminal acts of an employee would set a dangerous and expensive precedent. Todays Daily Wail suggests some BA managers went down to one of the orphanages in July to advise them that Woods involvement was nothing to do with BA. Doesn't sound like the actions of a company preparing to roll over.
It seems to me that some of those involved in the orphanages thought Woods involvement was in someway endorsed by or associated with the airline. BA seem to be making it quite clear that this was an entirely freelance affair which they had no oversight over. Again, doesn't sound like a company preparing to roll over.
