The problem is that the announcement of appalling figures coupled with the downgrade of stock added to the obvious downturn in the aviation sector (bolstered by the huge losses from AF/KLM) have somewhat taken the bluster from the BASSA sails.
Even those die hards who believe that all is pink and fluffy in the BA financial world and that the push for optimisation is merely a scary bully boy tactic from managers swimming in piles of gold cannot fail to see the prognosis.
Hence, now the whole situation needs to be re-addressed and evaluated sensibly. That takes a little time. Suffice to say though that we should all hear some news soon as the company CANNOT AFFORD to let this drag on for the sake of the customers, investors or staff.
Time to put up or ship out.
