Re the appointment of new Directors, this will be a WW man who has the strength to support the business through the changes needed to achieve its longer term business aims. i.e take on the unions and unfavourable work practices that prevent BA from being competative.
The T&C's ruined EI, a National airline that is now regional with "few long haul sectors".. The low cost heathen at DUB we too entranched for EI to recover there mis managed position..
Take this message and apply to BA!!. The low cost boom at LTN, LGW and STN.. these three airports strangle LHR.. So BA can only ever hope to focus on Long Haul... They missed the chance to dominate the regional market by screwing up GO, BCal and Dan's and giving up on LGW... How many atempts do they need... Hardly anyone had heard of FR and Ezy when GO came about... T&C's and greed of the few screwed it for all...
The T&C's saw to this... unless these alter.. Then the demise which came to DUB will arrive in LHR...
Same as on carriers with T&C's that drowned them...
SN in BRU
SR in ZRH
AF in CDG
AI in CIA
The CAA will not interfere with the running of BA.
The AOC requirements are for an Accountable Manager (WW) and the Directors of Flt Ops & Engrg. "Operations" is not something the CAA require as mandatory, although they will be aware of the changes and expect BA to furnish them with thier plans going forward.. This has already been done in the annoucement of a new combined role.. The CAA will support WW & BA during this transition...
Hey ~ "If you can't change the people, CHANGE THE PEOPLE !"
How "punctual" the departures of two yesterday!!, were they on time and allowed to depart accompanied by their "luggage"..
One has to make this joke based on the operational performance since Day 1. Wankers, and one of them should have gone after the TV annoucement..
There are characters on the apprentice who could brief hungry punters and media in a more appropraite way than that...
Have the construction teams and project management firms had anything to say about all this??????????
During my last LRC I hear the trials for the baggage system were only tested with a few hundred empty bags, nothing like peak throughput of a busy week day morning check in.
Also heard was the passenger flows and throughput (signage etc) only tested by staff... The guys from MUC must have some stoires to tell...
What about the BA project team taking two days off before the opening as "all was going to plan".. Is there any truth in this..?
Adjure........ GMT - 6hrs so its rude not too...
