Capvermell two points. First, the Guardian reckon that Kirkwood and Noyes have gone straight on gardening leave which would indicate that terms and conditions of their departure have yet to be finalised. If so, the resulting "discussions" could be an interesting management diversion in the months ahead.
Second, I flew back from Lisbon on BA a couple of days ago and we were an hour late leaving Lisbon due to "late arrival of the aircraft incoming into Heathrow from Madrid and also heavy rain at Heathrow."
Since March 27, all BA's 757 fleet are now running the LIS, BCN, MAD, NCE and HEL services out of Terminal 1.
Now, how can you tell me that in 2009 T5 will be perfect, when at the moment BA can't even run a single-fleet operation to five destinations out of one half-empty terminal with any degree of robustness in the schedule? Hint: the answer begins with H and ends in W....
