The 'idiot' in charge never had a chance in hell when serco went into Kidlington Bitchy Intl. The staff were kept in the dark by CSE and it was a done deal before they knew about it. Backs were up from the start, I'm sure you would agree vfrflyer. The original staff have never been happy and have made life difficult ever since. The Oxford owners also have never known what it is they actually want. I'll give it 6 months maybe a year at best before they've changed their minds again
As for Hawarden niknak, I think you'll find that extensions of contract are already well under way with Airbus.
