No-one blamed!
Someone will get a bonus for reducing the mess by the use of his/her
wonderful management technique.
Probably the lady store detective they've made head of security for, as far
as anyone can tell, sleeping with the boss...

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.

no doubt including the foreign minister whose bags were lost and complained
to our foreign minister in person at a meeting. By the way BA accept its
their fault, not BAA. The worlds un-favourite airline?

Someone who removes all context by deliberately snipping the entire post
they are responding to , then referring to some idiotic charter without
providing a link telling *someone else* how to post??

Couldn't be more right there! How come we have some-one who goes by such an
American nom de plume as the moderator of an un-moderated Australian
focussed newsgroup? Was this a plot by the former Government? Appointed
by Helen Coonan or her predecessor Richard Alston?
