Chaos at Terminal 5

[chris weston]

PowerPoints

I think it's a deeply rooted and cultural thing with BA's management.

Their culture, amongst many other things, says "…….what's the cheapest way we can do this, period?" instead of "…….what's the cheapest way we can do this that works properly?" Minimise costs by all means but do the job properly first.

You can bet your sweet life that there will have been PowerPoint presentations ad nauseum on costed options and scenarios for the opening of T5 by the suits with MBA's. I further bet that a phased introduction process would superficially have cost more. Not any more!

But ………. bringing BA to its knees would also hurt an awful lot of innocent boys and girls at LHR without necessarily applying mole grips to the goolies of the custodians of the culture I so much despise.
