what is the reason you didn't call and rebook for a different ABZ flight as I suggested up thread?
i would very strongly suggest you do that rather than treat this as an experiment in to how BA's (not necessarily reliable!) systems work.

So... 4 months had passed. I am now sitting in London with my flight home in less than 48 hours. No contact from BA except for the standard preflight covid information email. I am still on BA1314 - BA4038, 1600-1735 and 1730-1820.
The advise still the same? No need to panic, no need to be concerned and BA's effective system will sweep such problems up? Or BA have some other magic to solve this time paradox?

On balance I think a call tomorrow morning first thing to BA may be of benefit to your travel plans.

You (and others) also said "at some point" BA will pick up the problem and contact me. No, I do not know what flights to pick, so I did not contact them. Also, many comments up thread were telling me that I was panicking, my flight is ages away, etc... So I just forgotten about the problem until I received the preflight email from them today. Up thread it seems that many are saying BA system is quite reliable in picking up such problems, well perhaps no.
i would suggest you call tomorrow.
