If this is the calibre of senior management at BA then they deserve to fail
If the top brass are no good, the rest will follow. And the top brass are no good, and have not been for a long time. The company is a car crash in progress, and if anyone who thinks that their operational and maintenance standards are not going downhill fast with the rest of the outfit needs a reality check.
At the risk of being repetitive, why are they still allowed to call it "British"? It is not, and has not been since IAG was created.
