I think this point about who the individual is is really important. If it is the individual who we think it may be then this macho, clodd footed and totaly insensitive attitude seems to characterise him and those who rode up to high office with him. Its all about point scoring and putting one over.....................not about professional, considered and decent management.
These guys do the name and reputataion of BA no good at all, so why does Eddington and his main men allow them to get away with it?
Answer. He either does not know about it or does not consider it to be a problem.
Upon the assumption that not everyone who has contributed to this thread is a radical lefty with an agenda of their own then there seems to be plenty of evidence to show that there are some serious fault lines in BA management which warrant serious review.
Picking on a female captain with a young baby who is well liked and respected to prove his management virility may turn out not to be one of Mr De La Fosse's best decisions.
And yes, we know that Management read this forum. Even Mr E acknowledges it.
