I think that BA has scented the blood of the LH refugees not BDSMed by corporate contracts and discounts and is determined to snag them away from LH.

I have it from very reliable sources that no major changes are planned to BAEC until 2015. In fact they are very happy with changes in customer behavior with 100% Gold/Silver tier bonus on BA/IB metal.
Redemption of Avios is still tough especially TATL, but Willie Walsh and co clearly have gone the other way from Sphor and co regarding the value of FFP to the airline. IMO, the problem for BA is the cabin staff not the management- in the case of LH it is the other way round.
