IMHO this shambles will give government all the ammunition to "destroy" BAA. I guess that when the Competition Commission they will recommend that LHR is sold. The sale of either LHR or LGW will not change the way the company behaves. The sale of LHR will. It will be floated on the stock exchange. New management will transform it from the unloved beast that it now is to a great company.
BA will have to do something radical to improve. Perhaps Alan Mullaly should be recruited from Ford.
