Along time ago in the south the BOH head penny pincher had us using the bus between STN and LHR , it was not long before a number of flights got delayed or canceled due to the crews being late for duty or late off duty.
The cost saving vs public transport to move a compleat crew are small but the penaltys when public transport fails are very large.
I can only assume that a "new" person in BOH is trying to make a name for him/herself , it will only take a few delays to have them re-learn the lessons of the past.
When I have time I will tell you about the £500 roll of fax paper !
