Can anyone tell me one good thing Rod Eddington did for BA?
The business plan, which got us over 09/11 (Focus on Premium Cabin, New Club World and World Traveller Plus) was already under way under Ayling.
Rod Eddington sold "Go" (at a fraction of its costs to BA despite all the hype at the time) which caused an absolute nightmare for BA's short-haul operation when EasyJet acquired a 50% increase in its capacity. He also was responsible for the chronic staff shortages that led to delays and cancellations galore! He also stated on many occasions that Gatwick was a major headache for BA - so much of a headache, he could only be bothered to visit on a handful of occasions during his five years!
.......Nope! He doesn't deserve his fat pension! Neither does Ayling, but that's another story!
