What a load of cr*p! that really doesn't warrant a reply .... but my personal thoughts are that the focus of WW and RE over the next few months will be firmly around the 'Fit for 5' theme.

To that end it will centre around working practises and agreements for ground-based employees, ie check-in staff, engineers, ground transport drivers, loaders and baggage handling in general.

As RE has said before, 'this is our one and only chance to get it right, we are not taking existing working practises to T5'.

Nothing that the pilot community does in the way of working practises needs addressing on the critical path to T5 occupancy. There are some issues around SH cabin crew practises between flights that need visiting, but nothing like those around the ground staff.

It may well be that WW has some thoughts of his own as to the direction he wants BA to move in (he'd be a disappointment if he didn't), and some of the things you mention may be floated, and many will be dismissed as not workable/inappropriate, I suspect that one of he reasons he it work alongside RE for 4-5 months is so that the transition is as seamless as possible. WW at the moment will only just becoming appraised of the juggernaut that is BA.

Your posting really is malevolent garbage.
