BA Directors plead to be prosecuted
I see in the paper this morning that Commercial Director, Martin George and Ian Burns, Communications Cheif, hereinafter to be known as George Burns, that well know and long lived comedian, are pleading with the OFT to prosecute them to the full extent of the law here in the uk.
This arises from the fuel surcharge price fixing deal, which, if not followed through by the OFT will leave the US Dept of Justice the opportunity to prosecute them in the US with a possible life sentence.
Hoist with your own petard springs to mind. You will reap what you sow, how the mighty are fallen, all good things come to those who wait.....any more spring to mind?
What a great comedy the whole episode has turned into, not for George Burns of course, but BA as a whole. The money they made from their fuel surcharge will dissappear in fines, legal fees and compensation, lovely stuff.
Do BA management think they are above the law? This is after all, not the first time they have been caught cheating.
Just why do they do it I wonder?
