BA has always been trumpeting about increasing utilisation of its fleet and here we are pretending that the flying program has been axed to improve performance. The sad fact is that the flying program has been cut because of the inability of EWS - The one size fits all Engineering system...also known as 'Everything Will Stop'. It's been a fiasco and looks like nearly a 1000 flights have stopped. There are Christmas trees littered around LHR/LGW and CWL, including 744's, 777's and 734 - so no wonder BA hasn't got credible standby A/c even with Titan flying for them. It's depressing to hear Engineers getting so frustrated with such a complex system, along with so many unservicable aircraft causing such expensive cancellations and it doen't matter how BA tries to dress it up, its another
PR disaster. Just wait till EWS Part 2 kicks in later this year.......
Tin Hats on order at Waterside... if EWS can 'find' them that is...
