As an ex-employee of B.A. at both gatwick & heathrow, a move like this doesn't surprise me.. I don't see any harm in trying to make all shorthaul more like a lost cost brand, I think they should 'woo' back Barbara Cassani & give her the whole of the gatwick fleet to play with, I'm sure with her business experience & hands-on approach at 'Go-Fly' she would turn loss-making gatwick around.. Unfortunately, the only people I'm sure would dissaprove would probably be, in my experience, the cabin crew. The travelling public has changed so much since I started flying back in 1990 and I think we owe it to ourselves as crew to change with it & be open to what may help us to keep our jobs & win more customers, the way it's going though, the only airlines that will probably 'clean-up' as a result of B.A. slot losses at gatwick etc are 'EasyJet' who seem to be doing very well out of there.. The futures bright, the futures orange!
