I can get the boarding pass for the second flight by checking in online before I check my bags. I can (and will) check the bags though to my final destination.
If the flight is delayed when I check in, I guess I can try to get transferred to another connecting flight. I can see why they wouldn't want to transfer me to another airline but would they be difficult about transferring my second booking to another BA flight?
