This is exactly the problem with BA at the moment. It doesn't matter that the aircraft are full, they will still make a loss with the beurocratic fat that they carry, so in the long term they can never make a profit.
Their recently announced staff cuts would appear to be in entirely the wrong areas. Did'nt one of Rods previous disasters suffer severely because of too much trimming in engineering?
Departments still vie as to how much each can spend on courses for their staff in order to maintain their percieved status. The "suits" still run their empires at Waterworld.
The latest rumour is that BAR are to go, further unrest with probably no savings.
At least investors finally seem to be realising that without major changes in strategy and management BA will never be profitable.
