Please try to remember that whatever their job title, these cuts affect real people. Also that most managers such as TMG's are in place to do a real, technical job not just to sit back and watch others do the real work.
That said, this is probably the right move for BA if its serious about cutting £300m from its employee costs.
Just to correct a previous poster, we've been told that any senior manager who fails to secure a post by end of March 2006 will be out, no careerlink no BRS, just OUT!
