Are BA still paying King and Marshall? They should be the first to come off the payroll...
Why can Stelios manage to run a successful business from an old warehouse and yet the Waterworks luvvies can't manage to run a damn thing? 'Silly New Catchy Name' programmes to sort out yet more cock-ups? Not as effective as actually doing something positive!
'Future Size and Shape' = 'What can we cut next?'. .'Business First' = '$od the proles'
Now they seem to be polarising - stupid ad campaigns which are wasting money trying to attract more business travellers to be ripped off paying absurd premium prices at one end of the scale and 'leave the food behind' cheapo policies at the other.
How about a new programme 'Fare Deals for All'? And fire the feng shui flower arrangers at Waterworks. In fact sell the damn place and lock the finance team and marketing people into a disused carpet warehouse until they work out how to run something efficiently...
I still remember the despicable 'Dirty Tricks' saga - and until BA cleanses itself of that stench, quite a few people will avoid flying with them if there's any alternative.. . . .Best of luck to the flight and cabin crews though - it's certainly not your fault that despite your professional efforts a bunch of total donkeys is letting your company slide down the pan.
