My reading of it is that BA were left between the proverbial rock & a hard place... The Govt essentially said they were concerns, had the ability to deny an airside pass, but left the airline to do the dirty work. WW said as much with respect to his career. IIRC the previous article said BA offered him opportunities to work elsewhere in the airline?
BA could of course throw this back at the Govt if the Tribunal find in Jamaluddin's favour. They just go back to HMG and say "
one of your Depts says he is a hazard, the other we are supposed to let him fly our aircraft - please make up your mind?". And unlike last time, now all in the public gaze
Assuming the Mail article is essentially correct (it seems a balanced writeup, which is surprising for the Mail), I do not think it reflects badly on BA in any way... it does on HMG
