Why do so many posters on both threads appear to expect WW to vanish from the scene once the CC situation and BASSA has been resolved, (at least for this time). He has taken on a moribund operation, arising from mis-management, public ownership and practices dating back at least to the 1960's, and has started to convert it into a commercial operation, which nobody has previously had the guts to do.
There is still a long way to go, even without the challenges that the merger will bring and whatever problems lie within the current Iberia organisation (which no doubt Unite are eyeing up as opportunities for European expansion).
In the current situation I would think that from the personal level, there are enough challenges ahead to provide WW a very satisfying opportunity to guide and achieve an organisation which is a leader in its field, in modern organisation, customer and shareholder satisfaction and, in staff management, relations and rewards.
Granted that Utophia does take time, its still worth trying.
