No matter who runs Citiexpress they are going to have all the same problems. All of which have been brought about by the increasingly ill thought through FSAS decisions. These changes maybe necessary but the water is never allowed to settle before the next change is made. Chaos has followed with rostering, training and crewing fire fighting from one day to the next and the costs totally out of control.
Citiexpress was, despite what others think, a good idea (no matter what the PLY, CWL and BRS purists say Brymon and BRAL could not have competed with the LCCs without BAs backing as I have heard suggested) it was just implemented by too many people with their own agendas and no real idea of what they were trying to create.
The management who make the important decisions are all still attached to BA anyway so I don't see BA taking over making much difference except in further escalating our completely out of control cost base !
