A comment from the Daily Mail page on T5 chaos
I thought you may be interested in this, copied from the DM
I worked as a network engineer on the T5 project. I started when the building was still a shell and finished just before the trials. Let me say with confidence that it was shambolic from the beginning. The number of project managers, slavishly working towards their own individual 'project milestones' - usually to the detriment of other project teams, was lamentable.
Never before have I seen so many incompetent, self-serving managers in one place. I'm still in touch with sub-contracted engineers working on the project and to a man, we all knew that something like this would happen. I emailed them yesterday and they replied saying that they 'couldn't stop laughing'. The job was poorly coordinated, rushed and the organisation defied logic. From day 1,even before it had been built, the tag-line just below the logo on all the project documentation stated "T5, The Worlds most successful Airport Development" Arrogance or what?
