Re: Let's slag off British Airways CEOs

Hello

I have to say I think your post is highly inaccurate. Rod Eddington transformed BA from a terrible airline with High Fares and a disastrous Low Cost Airline Technique, trying to destroy easyJet and Ryanair with horrific tails into a profitable, acceptable and affordable airline, that most British people are proud to have as their flag carrier.

1) So what? Other airlines are allowed to grow too you know...
2) No-one lives near Gatwick, all the routes were not making any profit and they were giving easyJet their space
3) Not true, A380s are being speculated over and 777s are on their way to being delivered by the hundred
4) Giving them their space - if they're making a loss on a route, and a heavy loss I might add, please tell me why you think they're going to continue to operate on that route? Personally if I were CEO I would do the same thing rather than let my Airline go to ruin over puny destinations that people fly Package to anyway.
5) I fail to see the relevance of that
6) I think that BA's £230m profit is slightly more significant that RYR's £20m profit

Please check your facts before you post, and no I am not Rod Eddington.
