lexoncd - The individuals involved in presenting the ancient forecasts you refer to have moved on long ago. Do you believe that current managers should be vilified for inaccurate estimates provided by predecessors long departed?

Besides, an accurate forecast is extraordinarily difficult to achieve. May I ask in which year YOU forecast that the 2008 banking crisis would happen? How long in advance did YOU forecast the Arab Spring, crises in Iraq/Syria/Ukraine etc and the fallout from these? Can you show us YOUR forecast in which you foretold in advance the spectacular growth trajectory of upstart airlines such as Ryanair and EasyJet? And where did YOU point out ahead of time that such carriers would breathe new life into forgotten third-level regional airports at the expense of the majors?

If you expect 'heads to roll' amongst those who failed to foresee all these developments you will find nobody left alive to fill the posts left behind. Except for you. Clearly, you knew how things would pan out all along. You just 'forgot' to share it with the rest of us, perhaps?
