For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.BA used to be a great airline but is now going down like the titanic and not just because of the union strikes. I have flown BA domestically in the last couple of years and I think they offer a pretty good product domestically, however, I have not flown with them to Europe since 2007 because from then on they decided to hike up their prices while gradually stripped off their product.
Therefore I am not willing to pay £100 more to fly with them than Easyjet when the only difference is I get a "complimentary drink and snack" i.e. a packet of peanuts and a small can of coke/bottle of wine. That is not worth that much more to me!
BA really shot themselves in the foot with all the cutbacks which their loyal customers noticed. It was reprehensible of them to strip their business and 1st class product to their core whilst charging thousands of pounds for it. So, I have no sympathy for the predicament they find themselves in now.
If only their strategy had been "Lets offer value for money to our customers and really distinguish ourselves from the competition" to reduce their losses rather than go the low service, high cost airline route...
