I 100% agree with this (although I don't think it's fair to blame BA specifically). My minimum connection time is 1:30 (assuming you are going from T5 to another terminal and have to take the bus). I usually add in 30 minutes on top of that to deal with the frequent fog delays.
I think where AA really shines in in the domestic service. I've found that BA club Europe is vastly inferior to AA domestic first and in some cases even inferior to Main Cabin Extra.
