No - one reason is that all of T5 and it's siblings is containerised for baggage handling and certainly 757's can't take containers.

My information is that the Balearics and OneWorld were always headed towards to T3. Again digging into the dim and distant past even with T5C in operation there is just not enough gates for all BAs flights.
