BBC Breakfast and some of their presenters are so amateurish these days.
What came across clearly in that interview was that he (Walsh) is happy in so far as IAG is making bucket loads of cash. He struck me almost akin to Michael O'Leary in his disregard for passenger satisfaction. I guess that this "profit first and foremost" plays well with the institutional investors who own most of IAG shares, and are therefore his paymasters.

Welcome to 21st century air travel!

With regard to you last comment, couldn't agree more, but could have been worse, Steph McGovern could have been conducting the interview!!
