So, any answer to the question then? The loss has gone up. The savings are going to have to come from somewhere.
Perhaps the full rationalisation of the IfCE department coupled with the inability of BASSA to wreak havoc over the smallest point (ingrowing toenails, migraines, hot towels etc...) over the foreseeable future will calm the investors which is, ultimately, what this is about.
Trying to change agreed deals with the majority of personell within BA (ground staff, managers, checkin staff, tug drivers, pilots, loaders, IT staff etc. etc. etc) to glean IfCE cost savings would be a drastic mistake and one that Willie would not make nor indeed need to make.
