A little unfair
"As for BA - good riddance, crap handling, crap marketing, they missed out and have just lost 17 routes, 17 points of transfer traffic, £x million in franchise fees .... bye!!!!! Oh yes, dont forget that BA will loose 8m off their bottom line in fees we have paid for handling and engineering"
As some one who has had the pleasure of handling BMED for the last years of my career I think that statement is a little sweeping.
If I were to comment in the same vain I might say that Bmed have been the hardest company to work with.
I have lost count of the amount of times that delays have arrived at LHR with no information from Bmed ops as to what to expect.
The level of ticketing and reservations service coming out of the departure stations is questionable.
Although I have felt that Bmed have tarnished the colours they flew in - I will still be sorry to see them go.
