Just posted to note that some of the usual BA knockers have desisted from comment.
Not much point in adding to the ongoing adverse comment I suppose.
No group adversely criticises BA more than those of us who care about 'our' company. (Just as you care about 'your' company) We are jubilant when it succeeds and embarrassed when it fails. Management are very good at engendering company loyalty - when it suits (been through a couple of mergers where it didn't suit )
I worked for Cathay when the move to CLK took place. It was a MUCH bigger deal than the T5 move and initially did NOT go well and was castigated by the HK media.
I have not the faintest idea what went wrong at T5 but:
a) I hope 'lessons will be learnt' (as HMG say ).
b) The great British public learn to differentiate between BA and BAA.

Bas - just in from pub so pls be gentle
