To me the omens were there many months ago.
Repeated reports back from non airline SLFs that the signage was bad.
Hardly difficult to fix so that raised concerns about the "clever bits".
I volunteered for several of the trials a long time ago. I did not get selected for any. I called them saying that I could car share ( supporting their save the planet stance) with friends that had already been selected.
They told me the computer system used for the recruits was really a personel type system and not really very good its new task etc.
In the end I gave up on it. Cutting corners like that is not clever.
I did get an independant tour and just visiting the SLF areas left me with the impression they were believing their own
PR speak and not listening to SLFs.
It is pretty basic to throw lots of bodies at a task like this and be happy to feed and water them even if they sit on their bums all day.
It is now 23:35. BBC is still repeating " We are expecting a statement from BA". The
PR / press team must be out dining on the success or are they writing resignations speeches?
On silly me one does not fall on one's sword. One stays to ensure that all is sorted out cos one is the best man for the job.
I am so sadded to see a prawn like Kirkwood allowed near the press.
The press will not forget his double snub.
