beggy
beggy beggy please somebody from BA issue me a pass for a week and I will come and nosy round the entire system to see what's going on!
I *love* ops research, which is what this is, and I bet in a week of wandering the environs of BA's LHR operation you could find so many left and right hand things going on it would make your eyes water.
With the fuel, I understand how there are savings to be made in not carrying "extra" fuel around, but somebody must work out how much time/effort/cash/customer goodwill/on time departure could be saved by just throwing an extra 5% at it in the planning stage. For the extra $1M/year think how, from the sound of it, slicker the LHR operation would be!
Quite why the management types aren't already doing these teeny tiny improvements makes you wonder? Maybe the LHR station chief should go to an outstation for a week and his/her namesake from the outstation do LHR for the same week? Probably they would both learn a lot!
