How about BOS-JFK-LHR or BOS-ORD-LHR or BOS-DFW-LHR - albeit that the flights are overnight?

Nope, they don't

AA is covered by regulation from EU-USA , since all carriers are covered there
For USA-EU, only community carriers ( basically EU carriers ) are covered by regulation

If you were booked on a BA flight and that flight was impacted, then you would have been covered?
