I would imagine the 12 A380s would be the first to go as well as anything on a lease that can be returned. I wonder if the B744s might continue as fuel is cheap, they’re paid for and many recently refurbished. The non refurbs could go ASAP.

although if you're reducing capacity on a long haul route with two or three flights a day - the A380s might be a useful once a day plane ... depends how brutal the cuts are.

I think I read somewhere that cargo demand is holding up. Which may help keep the bigger planes flying, if rotations are being cut.

I think that it is likely that cuts will be made across all fleets in order that crew hours can be evened out. Imagine the effect on some of BA’s most senior captains if the whole A380 fleet was put into storage!

I think that BA would simply crunch the numbers about the best cashflow situation and go with that. I very much doubt that it would worry much about the feelings of the senior... In other words, it would probably do exactly the same as any other company in the same situation...

I would suspect that grounding a whole fleet (e.g. A380) has restart implications as mentioned above (not connected to the feelings of senior flight crew!)
As has been said, cargo is still in demand, so while it may look like smaller planes are better from a PAX demand situation, other factors come into play. I would definitely see this as an opportunity to get in front of the maintenance and other down-time operations waves, where that works and if the cash to do so is available.
I imagine the delay is some deliveries isn't so much of an issue right now!
Interesting times to be sure.

I cant see BA axing it’s A380s. They’re only around 6/7 years old and probably more efficient to operate than 747s. They would be useful in combining 2 777 or 2 747 flights when operating a reduced schedule.

Cargo demand has gone through the roof. Those airlines with pure freighters like Cathay and Cargolux cannot schedule enough sectors and don't have enough crew.
The B744's with their huge cargo capacity can just about break even without any passengers. Likewise for the B777's. Less so for the A380's.

Lightly loaded passenger flights do however benefit from the underfloor freight contribution.

This Airliners.net posting suggests that Lufthansa is going to do exactly that - use empty passenger flights to fly cargo due to the demand and increased pricing for cargo space.
