There are loads of real reason not choose BA but age and brand loyalty in p2p price sensitive cohorts ain't one. As Cruz and WW understand, it's ALL about pricing.
Part of the problem is that the LCC airlines have set themselves up in such a way as that you may not remember to check BA's prices, or if you do you'll do it via someone like Expedia who will also present you with prices for a lot of competitors.
Of course the other thing to bear in mind is that the nature of BA's route network makes them irrelevant to the type of traveller that a lot of young people outside London will most frequently be. If you're looking for a weekend break from the regions to [I don't really care; somewhere hot / a nice city / somewhere with cheap beer] then you will start by looking to see where Ryanair / EasyJet / Wizz / Jet2 fly to from airports convenient to you. With statistically insignificant exceptions BA do not offer these flights; they only offer the type of flights you'd been needing if you were going somewhere for work.
