They know that. The connections are the key though. I went to Paris for the weekend in January in the very slow period and and almost everyone was connecting (or luggage free). Absolutely I only went as it was direct and very cheap. ($600 rtn)
BA might do ok with the combination for sure but they'd canibalize a lot of the AF revenue.
