Yes, that seems fairly clear cut, so long as you specifically requested EC261 compensation. I can't see any obvious get out clauses there. Always a good idea to make a contemporary note of what captains say in this situation, BA pilots are generally excellent at keeping people informed. You may need to wait a week or two to hear more, but if you are lucky you may be fast tracked on this one. The only hesitation I have is that I imagine that CR have been snowed under with fog queries (note unsubtle mixed metaphor) and so there may now be a backlog. Therefore I'd leave it a month before calling up.
