this won't be the only disastrous decision from willie walsh.I believe BA needs far more inspired leadership,but we all know he will be allowed to blunder on regardless.the consequences of his mistakes,as you point out,is the ruin of Baconnect and crippling financial strain on Flybe,on top of the chronic crewing shortages,will prove disastrous as the ambitious summer schedule looms ever closer....what a tragic time for both airlines.
