And now I have to backtrack a little. On my flight from LHR to HAM last Friday, BA's attitude to my emerald status and economy ticket was: "Yeah...so?" I was not allowed to pre-book my seats, nor did I have access to the "preferred" seats, contrary to their oneworld policies. Perhaps BA is only concerned with oneworld members travelling in first or business. In any case, it seems they are not completely living up to their alliance committments.
