I question just what kind of person 'volunteers' in this kind of situation? All that money, and they expect people to give up their free time to fix this collosal stuff up? The ones paid overtime to do it, of course. |

No-one blamed! Someone will get a bonus for reducing the mess by the use of his/her wonderful management technique.

He takes the heat off the new Spanish owners of BAA, who are trying to recoup their 'poisoned chalice' debt incurred when they bought the company. I assume that when he gets the inevitable chop after being caught breaking some law or other, or getting caught in bed with an expensive tart or something else reasonably trivial (as most airline heads seem to do these days) he'll get a nice safe seat on the their board as a 'non executive director' and sit back and collect the cash for doing nothing very much. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
