CM...my reference to BA and open skies was not an attempt to divert attention from this topic.Open skies,its creation and expansion,is yet another example of disastrous and financially suicidal decisions taken by BA management.The result of these seemingly,neverending,dubious business mistakes results in the very situation we now face,where employees are expected to take the pain for attrocious management blunders.
The economic downturn is of great concern,but trading conditions will improve in time.I fear long term management of this great company has to change if real success and stability can be achieved.
