" PAXboy - you mean a bit like being put on the 'special projects' team in an office ?

I was thinking more that the company is in trouble if it wants to have someone on TV with that title - bit like local Govt councils in 2007 at the height of the boom having lots of community outreach partnership
staff. "

"I read the BBC News - London 2012: British Airways Olympics dove plane unveiled article and the video. The bit that has me laughing is the job title of the BA bloke giving the story. He is (quote) David Barnes BA's Operations Manager for External Appearance.

I'm sure that he's a decent fellow and he sounded sensible but I have to say that, once you get titles like that - you are in trouble."

Makes "Ministry of Silly Walks" sound sensible!
