I'd say definitely not. However, SQ are but one example of competitors upping their game notably in premium (J+F) classes. As such, I am sure that many within BA itself would be keen on the new J hard product coming sooner rather than later. In F, my perception is that BA is simply not aiming for the ultra-premium market so my personal guess is that they will largely ignore what is happening on the SQ, EY, AF, etc fronts.
