At least Michael O'Looney of Air Begorrah doesn't come out with any Walshshit about how the workers should miss their mortgage payments to help him maintain a shred of credibility as a manager. No, beJasus, the fuck we will, it's committed we are, so it is, to cheap flights and even cheaper wages and if anyone asks me for a rise it'll be me boot up their arses, so it will. Air Begorrah is dedicated, by the holy fuckin' Jesus, Mary and Joseph, to running the cheapest, most shoestring business operation in the history of Mammon, so we are. Pile 'em high an crash 'em in flames, that's our motto. Walsh ? he's a gabshite, and I wouldn't give him a job as an airstewardess, not that we have any, so we don't.
Immune to criticism, a stranger to humility, Walsh is, like the banking mafia, emblematic of managerial I-know-best Britain, NewLabour plc, just as long as his Goodwin isn't affected, that's the main thing. Let's hope some pissed-off, hard pressed employee punches him very hard in the mouth.

I have travelled round the world three times since 1989 - which was the last date I set foot on a BA plane. Can't say I have missed anything by way of outstanding service, food or punctuality. BA should merge with Singapore Airlines, then they might get some idea of how to run a railroad.
The World's Favourite Arsehole.
A very frustrating turn of events all round. Massive remuneration for Mr Walsh and his CFO, yet seemingly little or no foresight on either of their parts, if BA really is in as much trouble as they would have their staff believe.
A good few years ago, I had to fly to and from the more northerly reaches of Europe on a monthly basis. Started off flying with BA around December time but the cost gradually climbed, as summer approached, to the point where the expense forced me to switch to Ryanair - where I could fly at a quarter of the price - or less if there was a promotion on.
The premium for flying with BA at peak time was completely unacceptable and, rather than being a chore, the regular bus ride through scenic Nordic countryside was a welcome opportunity to read or relax.

Like it - thanks!
Perhaps they could stop flying near-empty planes just to keep their departure slots.
BA shit, but you should have seen the look on my 85 year old alcoholic mother's face, when, having shortly before taken off to fly to see my brother and family in SF, the hostess on our Virgin Airways flight informed her that there was no tonic on board to go in her gin.
Turn the plane around, was the essence of her response, bless her.
Virgin are a fuck up as well. Everything I have had in whatever manifestation from whatever Virgin brand has been shit. Branson is the Bliar of the business world

Best flight I ever had was Qantas to Oz in 1985 - more or less intravenous drip all the way, bless them, with the campest male hostesses and the most gorgeous Moari hostesses. Utterly gin soaked we were bless them.
Lilith's above were Elby's - forgot to log her out; she's down at Glyndebourne at the mo, escorting Calfy and her ward.
L's mum is mad as a march hare, but not an alcoholic ;->>
