Hi P-T-G,
the management I come into contact in IFCE do not last long. They either move on within BA or just cannot take the pressure (from above) and the merry go round continues. You only have to look at new onboard responsibilities that have been changed by 'management' to see they have not got a clue.
As for continually slashing I feel BA would do much better with a smaller but much higher calibre of management to run this airline.
