I must agree with the contributor who stated that 'BA will come out of this a lot stronger'. However, logic must dictate that to do this it must come out a lot leaner.
Much of the higher than wanted costs for BACX is surely the ground service provided by BA mainline at MAN / GLA. One of the outcomes of the review must surely see ground services outsourced before routes / flights suffer.
I recall many months ago when the issue of BACX was stated with some force by an LGW F/O. When the RJs' moved to the BA terminal the handling charge changed from £400 to £1300 which reflected an immediate loss in their operations costs. Under the BA system at MAN / GLA turmaround costs are still too high.
