All this sounds familiar to me here in UK. BA went through this scenario some time ago.
Yep, same feeling here, I was in the UK when that all unfolded there as well, but it was handled much better than what I have seen unfold here since late November..
I think all this "sounds familar" to the CFO as well, he's right on cue with the lines... reminds me of the Ayling years lead up time before he was dumped and replaced by Rod Eddington... Ayling did a great job running down BA. Again hindsight is a wonderful thing, replace the name Ayling with Joyce and I think we have the same staged show being replayed here in Oz
Ayling left British Airways with £2m payoff - Telegraph
anyway part two of the Australian version here
and Steve P's reply
more to come
