Yes, of course you are right-- I should have mentioned that important caveat. But I was quite surprised with their answer-- I personally was also under the impression that that first date was "cast in stone" as well-- only to find out that it isn't the case. I'll start it up later in the year.
Even with one of my ex-JNB AONE6s purchased here (during the "good old days") I spoke to BA and they changed my starting date w/o any hassle whatsoever-- none. But in that case, BA was definitely acting differently that "the rules" from what I could gather.
