Yes, it is possible. However, AS and BA aren't in a JV. So BA is in no obligation to help AS. They still compete with one another. AS could have secured the LHR slot elsewhere. AC is one possibility.

I think that's an exaggeration. Yes, some people will avoid the US, but a good proportion will continue doing what they were doing before Trump. It's the same thing in this country, btw.
The pandemic - and the restrictions that ensued - was a whole other beast. You can't compare the two.
