To walk away from a reservations system and onto a new one is very difficult as you need to migrate you current reservations over not an easy task.

your quite right there

, also BA serviced a lot of Virgins planes, as about 1/3 of Virgin's fleet is leased from BA and there was a contract between them that basically said something like Virgin had to use BA's tech services with those aircraft.
when those aircraft did go into the hangers at heathrow during the time of the legal case Virgin's planes where left for days untouched.
