Me too. Even in a disrupted situation, I can't imagine that BA or any airline would manage to get every seat filled on every flight on every route on which there were still stranded pax. When no-show rates are as high as they are in any event, you can't do that unless you have mounds of pax hanging around gate desks on standby until -10 mins - which causes its own problems.
