Paddington,
You state, <<I'm not interested in badly thought out/poorly informed changes just for the sake of being seen to do something. Like most of you, I want to see a change which will improve BA's profitability whilst maintaining the airline as safe & reliable with consistently high standards. I'm assuming (or hoping) that BA's managers also have that aim.>>
Yes I do believe they have that aim but IMHO they are so divorced from reality that the target isn't anywhere in sight.
Reaching for the Prozac again
