"two penn'orth"...

Despite my screen moniker, I don't work for them anymore, but have roots in the company going back to 1965.

Basically, nothing changes. How has the organisation kept its "unique cultural flavour" for over forty years? There is a PhD thesis to be had here.

Twenty-five years ago, they were a LCC before their time:- sharp with cost control, macho with HR issues, commercially innovative and "buccaneering" but with an unhealthy tendency to lean on crews to "keep the show on the road". And so it continues.

All the very best to all who stand up to the "regime", but don't make the mistake of thinking Sir Michael is more concerned with the opera and his non-exec postions and will not play tough.
