So BA is about 160 staff / airframe. I know I'm not comparing eggs with eggs but easyJet must be about 40ish per airframe. 45 million pax this year, figures for September +22%. BA -5%......... premium traffic is going to disappear in this financial climate.....

All airlines face a hideous 2009 - but I cannot see how BA can continue to operate with such a heavy management structure. What do they all do??

I don't want this post to sound conceited...... but I am still amazed at the size "da management" in BA. Do BA still have their own handling - does that account for considerably higher staff/airframe ratio?
