[QUOTE][/[For the record, the waste at Waterside does not include the fine Ops staff who try against the odds to keep the show on the road and should be in their own Ops centre not Waterside, without a canteen, gym, hairdressers and Waitrose at the weekend, as the 'office' is technically closed]QUOTE]
Sadly, even Ops suffered the old v new BA Management style. Experienced Ops Managers and staff who actually knew what they were talking about and could resolve complex issues were seen as 'dangerous' and 'a threat' to the new breed of BA Ops Managers who were brought in without any Ops experience. So many good staff were encouraged to leave, shameful. There is a famous incident when BA planners were trying to 'design' Project ICEBERG - the move of some L/H flights from T4 to T1 and an Ops Control staff member was asked to attend a planning meeting towards the end of the process, only for him to flag up basic crass mistakes and assumptions. A phone was made to the new Ops Manager asking the 'awkward' Ops Control staff member not to attend further meetings

This is how the Airline has eroded its experience and T5 sadly is the flagship for failure, but WW will survive
