All very valid comments, Pacamack.
The interesting thing will be to see how
comparable airlines (think Delta, AA, AF-KLM
not EZ, RYR) have performed relative to their own markets over the same time. This will give an indication as to how the City views BA's internal troubles.
IMHO though, it's a wonder BA have any investors left and WW certainly isn't helping. In his favour though, I think he's now finally coming to understand that there is a whole wedge of people between him as CEO and your standard line manager who only got there by virtue of their inability to say "No" to anyone above them. Irrespective of whether WW stays or not, only when that tranche of management depart will BA start to improve and not until.
