This is a WT ticket and he does not have any status in BAEC.
Are there any legs to his itinerary in higher classes, or on other airlines (on the same ticket)? If so, he gets the highest allowance. If not it sounds like a mistake.
Incidentally status does not affect baggage allowance, apart from (allegedly) the >23kg fee.
