You are engaging in the very same non-sequitur as a consequence of your confusing better and good. The fact that a previous policy was worse tells us absolutely nothing as to whether the current policy is good. It just tells us that it is better.
If it takes me 15 minutes to run 100 meters, that is not very good. The fact that it used to take me 30 minutes changes nothing to that. It might be better than before but it is still not good.
So telling us that BA used to have a worse policy does not, and cannot, tell us that the current policy is good. The current policy may or may not be a good policy but knowing that the previous policy was worse does not help us one iota in determining whether the current one is a good policy or not.
