The CEO question wasn't. Gi
This just shows how the general view of it being a shambles is based on no knowledge of what was planned or what the scale of the let-down was.
That was the reason I suggested above that people are taking the problem out of context.
Trust me, the airport had scheduled enough lanes from early enough to manage the high volume of Sat morning departures. That these lanes were not available was the problem (and as has been made pretty clear already, this was from a contractor not being able to staff adequately to meet the requirement)
I realise the plain and simple nature of the problem is not quite juicy enough for some of you but there you have it.
