You wonder how companies can justify their PR and marketing departments and the inflated salaries to go with it, when corporate decisions like this are made.

An ex, who is unaffectionately now called Maintenance, worked as regional manager for a large travel agent chain.

People never came in and said they wanted to book Tui, Thomson or anything like that in that price bracket. She said they'd come in, say where they wanted to go, what the budget was, and they nearly always wanted to travel on Britannia.

There you go guys, a few years marketing experience given to you for free.

Why F**k up something that's worked and was respected for years?
