Before we were called BACX, we were a franchisee. We paid BA lots of money, operated lots of flights, and you guessed it, made lots of money.
Then BA changed their policy. They bought our LHR slots, and got an airline as well. Now we have replaced BAR, we are run by BA managers, (tugs forelock, salutes, faces Mecca and bows, makes sign of cross, and gets pot of vaseline ready whilst bending over.)
Guess what? Now we're wholly owned, we have made a loss since our first year of being part of the "World Class Company" that is Big Airways. We are patronised by their pilots, paid a lot less in real terms, and worst of all, have been ruled by the amazing Dental Floss man for several years. Let's hope WW likes the concept of franchising, (and profit!!) and lets us go to do our own thing.....er, are GB recruiting???
