New management at BA



Posts

How will the airline fair when Willie Walsh moves into his new role as CEO of the new company owning BA and Iberia along with Iberia's chairman Antonio Vazquez, who would take the Chairmanship role at the new company.

BA's current CFO, Keith Williams will lead the airline as CEO. There will be changes to the management team, as Robert Boyle will be joining the new company with Mr. Walsh.

Can you see all this working and will BA survive? Will this new role give Mr. Walsh even more power to change the face of the airline and will this be for the better or worse?

What do you think?

Can we please not call it BA? The new entity (mutant?) shouId be called Biberia! :o)

Sadly not, Air Pocket... Mr. Walsh is insistent on the staff knowing that both airlines will operate as they do now... Give it a few years and I am sure they'll be a complete merge and be renamed before he leaves for a happy and lavish retirement....!
