Gets really tiring after a while
Surely if one is so smart ( must be to fly BA all the while, right?) you would think thry might be able to figure out that there might be no real relationship between announcing a product and in turn putting it in place.

Actually there is a relationship, but each airline operates differently. I think C and D checks are typically when planes are out of service for multiple weeks and a seat change would be less likely to cost the aircraft time in the air. However, BA - which last time round was very slow putting in the current CW - seems to be on a faster timetable. The question was does anybody know specifics on how AA and BA are selecting aircraft to upgrade (is it tied in to C and D checks - perhaps BA just had several planes that had already been scheduled for D checks?). Sorry the question offended you.
