TopBunk - I dont think we are as far apart as you suggest - when, for example is T5 due to start? Some years hence?
BA ops from T5 are due to start in 2008. That is almost tomorrow in the planning cycle. You don't just move in without doing a lot of forward planning and walk throughs of how it all fits together. It all has to be worked out in advance right down to the manpower requirements which are largely affected by the working practises. All of this is underway NOW, with ongoing talks with the unions involved happening NOW.

This is on the critical path to T5 opening and is the focus of BA's 'Fit for 5' campaign. You clearly demonstrate a lack of business acumen in your posting.
