I'll continue to make my choices based on price and convenience, and being based in London that makes BA a pretty decent option - even if the product isn't that great.
Fair enough -- and I am not one of the 'never going to fly BA' folks. There just was a time when it was my *preferred* option coming from the US to Europe. These days it no longer is -- it no longer out matches say American Airlines with service and comfort in Business class from the US as an example.

It seems to me that this trend will continue and if Brexit undermines the reason for routing to and through the UK going to Europe from the US I expect to see business travelers looking at alternatives -- US carriers or alternatives like Iberia or even Air France.
