Whilst the ECJ riling isn’t binding on UK courts the can take it into account and the various bits of Brexit legislation allow for that. It’s part of the stability mechanism for making sure there isn’t a sudden divergence between the EU and UK that could cause problems.
Of course the UK courts system will want a proper citation of the case and not not a general “Europe allows it”
Perhaps just quoting the case citation (rather than a “see you on Warsaw”) when communicating within BA Legal will release any log jam because this ruling clearly applies to BA flights leaving the EU area. Legal will be aware of that but not necessarily customer services.
