From that article:
"Jim Allison, who was on the plane, described the experience as “terrible”, saying he hoped never to have to deal with BA again. “Learn how to take care of customers and actually fly and we will talk,” he tweeted. Allison said he managed to make the journey at the third attempt, but only with the help of a rival airline."
That airline was American: BAW's codesharing and One World founding partner. No-where near a rival.
That said, BAW's conduct in this does not look good.

Poor Alex. Another Vueling nosedive?
You have to be really dumb, to fly BA(IAG)
Good point! I remember a flight from Toronto to Heathrow. It was a 747-400 and the aft/lav got plugged and soaked the carpet with septic fluid...fool me once,you know how the saying goes "The World's Filthiest Airline.
I fly regularly to the US and have used BA once. Never again. Poor service and Heathrow is a nightmare.
I use KLM, Virgin and Lufthansa all the time now with KLM being my preferred choice. Far superior to BA
