That rumour came to my mind too, although it wasn't in place while I was w/BA. I think the rumour was something along the lines of 'if there's a BA flight number, book it - avoid booking another airline's code, especially if the flight is operated by BA' or something like that.

I wonder if that agent heard something along those lines and mis-applied it here? It really shouldn't matter (to BA) whether the flight is booked as CX or AA...
