So having trawled through this thread and read news reports is it fair to say a summary of the problems looks like this...
1. Inadequate staff parking (BAA problem)
2. Inadequate staff numbers for a showcase opening (BA problem)
3. Indequate security staff to screen workers (BAA problem)
4. Baggage backlog due lack of staff, baggage system fails (BA problem)
5. Technical fault with baggage system (BAA problem)
6. Numerous other shortges and failures in equipment and staff (Both BAA and BA)
That reads as inadequate staff by both BAA and BA to ensure any last minute glitches could be coped with.
Which equals management on both sides looking to run this 'showcase' development at minimum financial outlay on staffing. No wonder things are not improving, if you haven't got the bods on the shop floor you are not going to cope with the workload, outlook similar.
Am I reading this story correctly because both BA and BAA will not give a straight answer.
