Presumably the management has been so difused that no one in particular
will ever be blamed for this massive cock up.



The MD has said the buck stops here and apologised


Wotta load of bollox. If 'the buck stops there,' the useless MD should
have RESIGNED.

Nah, that would stop them continuing their good work.

Nope.

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.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Or airline manufacturers. The airbus shares thing sounds pretty serious.
