As a BA employee I am saddened but not at all surprised that BA has fallen out of the FTSE 100. I spent 41 mins today waiting for crew transport. I do not know how much it cost the company but the Capt was adamant that BA was paying him £1 a minute unnecessary overtime just to wait for transport. He did not want the overtime - he would rather have got away from work on time and missed the rush hour snarl-up on the M25. We were not left stranded however due to lack of transport. It seems that it is the transport dept rule that bus drivers cannot carry pax in 2 directions. Now I know some people like to have a dig at BA pilots, but could you imagine if we became too precious to carry pax to AND from a destination. BA will only regain its status as once proud national flag carrier if it stamps down on groups like this.
Believe me. This is just one example of ludicrous laziness or wastefulness that must be eradicated.
