After it receives approval I guess it then depends on what position in the line BA are and also how quickly it can (and wishes to) reactivate the fully built and stored 787-10s. My hunch is that combined with the staff shortages and a pared back Summer 22 programme, it will probably be early 2023 as a minimum before we see them starting to filter through beyond the current 2 already in the fleet. I don't suspect BA are in the biggest rush to bring back airplanes into their fleet in the immediate short/medium term whilst they don't have sufficient staff to appropriately manage them within the operation.
Additionally, much of the east Asian network is still suspended so it's unlikely BA need the capacity anyway.
