It might be a PR decision to fix the plane after all, just so BA can say they've never had a hull loss with the particular type. QANTAS did the exact same thing, after one of their 747's overran the runway in Bangkok a few years ago. The 747 was basically a write-off, but QANTAS lives high on their safety reputation (they've never lost a jet aircraft), so the decision was made to fix the plane anyway.
