Have to agree with your opinion of the board, however, cannot take the same stance with Mr Wyatt. He's the boss, so it's him who sanctions the changes and him who takes the blame. It's why he gets paid so much (far too much in my opinion to make the mess of LGW we currently see).
There's no rocket science involved here. They got rid of far, far too many people. They're blaming the mix of transfer and point-point pax and their (not at all a mistake) in providing the appropriate manpower. Let's get this clear. If you get rid of longhaul services and increase the shorthaul services (by moving them from the South Terminal) then you will reduce the number of transfer pax and increase the number of point-point pax respectively. It's very, very simple and not a good enough reason for the muck ups they've made. By the time things are sorted out, summer will have gone and people will not be coming back to BA. Martin & his cronies should be hung out to dry for such apalling mismanagement. But we know BA. They'll be promoted to another job and continue to contribute to spoiling a once decent compnay.
