Okay, I stand corrected. I didn't know Barbara had gone when Go was absorbed into easyJet . The term "masterminded" was a little strong actually, Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge (plain old Colin Marshall in those days) dangled the puppet-strings and Barbara Cassani danced to Colin's tune to Sir Richard Branson's (and other carriers as well) detriment!

It was often whispered in dark corridors when Barbara was given the job of heading up "Go" that it was her reward for "services rendered" !!!

PAXboy, let your blood cool down! "Dirty Tricks" does make an interesting read.

From a BA insider's point of view, I can't get to grips with who, or what, actually turns the airline into the arrogant corporate animal it is. The people I work with are great and the management appear to be lacking in commercial awareness and communication skills, but they're not nasty people (not all of 'em anyway!) - so who or what destroys the airline???
