That could be a worry - can you disclose how you know this ?
I would imagine this is based purely on experience with Ryanair. It's not completely true, though. They still have a contract to get you from A to B. They won't do it with good grace, but they will get you there. In this instance, EU261 would apply.
BA operates in an alliance, has multiple flights from a hub airport etc. Ryanair has a thinly spread, non-alliance based network. The day for the delays to iron out of the system will be longer.
It's going to be an expensive day for BA's insurers. There will be a hit, and I think this combined with all their other cuts may be the final straw for many frequent fliers. Ultimately though I don't think it will be a catstrophe: ignorance, apathy, corporate loyalty, Executive Club loyalty will all have an influence on travel patters, to say nothing of the fact they are the largest airline out of LHR.
