Joe public can plainly see that depite Unites best efforts BA have planned well and are getting on with it.
Unfortunately they can't though can they? With a total media blackout from within T5 and Mr Walsh not raising his head above the parapet - the public see what the public get - ie aircraft taking off and nobody knowing how many on-board or how many crew.
If it had all gone so well 'to plan' Mr Walsh would have had every single news crew in there filming the 49,000 passengers a day moving through T5 - the fact that yesterday around 8/9,000 flew with BA tells a story in itself
