Regardless the fact BA’s total operating costs were down 0.7% as a result of lower staff costs, Mr. Walsh, in an upright annual bonus refusal seeks to salvage himself and BA’s status for the opening of Heathrow's Terminal 5.
Attempting to improve customer service efficiency and oust ghosts of the past British Airways announced the director of customer services and director of operations would be leaving the company and a new role will emerge incorporating both responsibilities.
Future does look brighter for British Airways, but are the new measures substantial to provide a ground breaking point in the company's strategy?
