Chaos at Terminal 5
Willie Walsh is crowing already that the first BA aircraft departed on time this morning from terminal 5..... And so it did.
It was also the last aircraft that left on time as poor organisation by both BA and BAA have contributed to delays running up to 2 hours due to problems attributed to passenger handling, baggage, ground transport shortages and security. It seems that all those bright minds that have devised the foolproof tests that have been going on over the past few months... actually got their sums badly wrong. It seems BA will be forced to cancel a number of services today in an effort to recover the situation.
Yet again the travelling public are to suffer, but you will be pleased to hear that the T5 shops are doing such a roaring trade that the deafening sound of the cash registers can be heard all the way over in the City of London.
Time to consider your future Mr. Walsh..... Time to move on.
