More strife over BA fuel surcharges.
It looks as if corruption is embedded in BA management. From Laker ,Dan Air, Virgin dirty tricks,Price fixing cargo,Fuel surcharge. All this over a long period of time. Must be most currupt company in uk.

Something is wrong in the UK if perpetrators of violent crime are given suspended or minimum sentences, yet business execs - at no personal gain - fiddle the figures and face jail time.
Something not mentioned, Andrew (or Drew as he likes to be known as) Crawley as well as Head of Sales is also the Head of Revenue Management - his job is basically is to maximise revenue for the company which includes managing seat inventory and setting prices. Under pricing he ultimately decides what price the customer pays including fuel surcharge.
He has to authorise the fuel surcharge increase, so even if he did not talk to VS directly he would have known that someone did. He would want to know or be assured that the competition is likely to match an increase in fuel surcharge, for him to agree such a move especially if it means BA becomes price uncompetitive.
Martin George, being Drew's boss is probably the person in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Will Iain Burns be coming back from AUH quickly?

silverstreak -
Very unlikely that WW knew what was going on. Basically it will be someone like Marting George or Andrew Crawley running to WW and saying ' sir, sir, we have just pushed our prices up more to combat the high fuel prices, aren't we doing a fab job?'

Many many years of downright illegal manipulation of facts and actions.
Nail 'em to the wall, I say.
Starting...right from the very top....and include those now retired, who had a hand in all this, long ago.

I say lock them up and throw away the keys (and provide lots of bars of soap!).
What I would like to know though, is BA still picking up the tab for the defence lawyers for this quartet who have already cost us £300m?
Disgraceful - and yes I know all about being innocent until proven guilty, but in this case the guilt has been accepted.

Like in the banking sector, the problem at BA is the way Directors and CEO's are paid. They take risks that expose the whole company to fines. losses and ridicule.
The Directors and CEO's at BA over the last five years have cost the company over U$1bn in fines and costs. There needs to be a root and branch analysis of directors pay in BA, plus a clear out of most at the top, tainted with these allegations.

Re: Kemblegate. Sheesh.. tough crowd!
Give the guy a break, taking food from childs mouth, ... off the table, ... trainees from the kids, .... M&S card off the missus, are all sayings.
He didn't literally mean he had a last £10note and rather than feed his kids, he paid an air-fare!
Crikey! You folks are just to prosiac. You must lead colourful lives as people confront you with other sayings & adages. I can only imagine the confusion you all must face in your daily lives when confronted with our wonderfully expressive coloquialisms.
