My point is that should i cancel, BA will resell the ticket and make more money on it, especially the popular route i have the ticket for. Taking that amount of money and making the cancellation effectively worthless for me means that i will simply not cancel, meaning that they lose money on a ticket that they could have resold at the elevated price i have just seen they are selling the tickets for.
You can't be that much of a frequent flyer if an airline cancellation fee surprises you. Which airlines have you flown that don't charge cancellation fees? You also don't appear to be familiar with the process of overselling (which a frequent flyer is). Even if you check-in BA can, and likely will, still sell your seat.
