Another director departs at BA
From Ft.com:
BA loses influential senior executive
British Airways lost one of its most influential senior executives today when David Spurlock, the airline's director of strategy, resigned for personal reasons.
The departure of Spurlock will come as a huge blow to the airline at a time when the aviation industry is facing the worst crisis in its history.
Spurlock, who joined the airline in 1996, was the driving force behind BA's radical decision to reduce its reliance on transfer traffic and focus on the more profitable point-to-point business traffic by switching to smaller aircraft.
The airline said Spurlock was returning to his native California.
