Indeed, I suspect legally, the airlines are managed as seperate businesses therefore they could still claim EC, although in the media, they would likely get a rough ride for it. I did wonder why, when my flight went tech in BCN and friends in IB told me they did have a spare aircraft in BCN they couldn't use it given they are both IAG, but apparently not possible.
