In todays news which would not be a surprise to anyone who works there, it was stated in the Times that the Civil Aerospace business hasnt made a profit for years. This really isnt a surprise as it was the worst kept secret in the company.
When a certain Senior Exec (responsible for the design flaw which killed the 787 engine) was getting annoyed at being hauled over the coals reguslarly by those at HQ, he issued an email whoch stated in no uncertain terms that there was to be no information on 'performance issues' given to the HQ staff unless said information had been vetted by him first. Of course it leaked and he forgot that the company didnt revolve around him and not everyone reported to him so it becam widely known that civl were in a bigger mess and were hiding the issues. Did that individual suffer ? Nope - promoted, and the organisation that provided the real data to HQ was disbanded.
