However his name is spelt and I can think of a few alternatives too, he remains one of the weakest CEOs of any major airline. He has one agenda which is to reduce costs. As any poster here who is good at their job knows, there is more to running a business which is just one of the reasons why he has got it so wrong just like he did at Aer Lingus.

My husband and I agree with you CXD. Something needs to be done, losses at these levels as a group, created by mismanagement and failed strategy are urgently requiring rectification.

Alex@16:40 Your post now appears rather out of context/inaccurate, any idea of the cause?

“but the way many of you carry on makes me wonder whether you spend all day in a boardroom or in a sandpit.”

In my objective experience, there is little difference at times, emotion rules and irrational decisions are the order of the day.

For those of us from the academic world, we have to remember Sayre’s law “Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low.” Maybe this is why I feel at home on this website? Academic life is the most refined form of sandpit.

There was a time when being clever was considered as much an insult in the right context as a compliment. Being academic can have equally as many meanings. Having spark and a sense of humour doesn’t mean we fail to understand or read between the lines.

Just in case anyone thinks we don’t “get it”. We do. Have a great night darlings!

Bigdog, your constant sniping and personal remarks regardless of the target contributes nothing to this board.

[BigDog.]

Well Harry, perusing your posts I note you are more partial to being critical of others than providing one iota of new information to the forum, so I guess I’ll pass at being offended this time. Thanks for your contribution.

Even if your posts sometimes leave me gasping in astonishment, you’re clearly one of the most informed and knowledgeable around the site so keep on hacking us off…! 🙂

Agree with your comment at 13/03/2013.

I think it is time we had a ‘wall of shame’ for posters who criticise others, but don’t contribute much original content, I suggest a starting list of

I would love to add VK, for lack of trip reports, but to be fair he does contribute very useful info about BA promos that has saved some posters a lot of money, so I have to respect that.

Oh honey you shouldn’t go down that road sweetie, it’s too far beneath you. If you know who they are, let them swell and dry and eventually fall like an old grape from a vine. Everyone can work out who they are.

I can and I’m new.

I’ll say no more before this hairdressing woman back combs my hair even more violently, I swear she enjoys it.

Hi Anastasia, greetings from Hell’s Kitchen.

[NameRemoved-18/12/14]

I think it’s going to be a fabulous day Anastasia..have a wonderful trip. Do you mind if in future I abbreviate your name?

[AnastasiaBeaverhouzen]

You can abbreviate it sure, to Anastasia.

Off to Heathrow soon. I just hope my assistant gets their on time. Someone has to get this bag up in to the overhead.

“Iberia y sindicatos firman la propuesta del mediador y ponen fin a la huelga”
which means ..
“Iberia and the unions sign the proposal of the mediator and so put an end to the strike”

This is supported by the minister but take note that the pilots union, (the all powerful SEPLA) could still undermine the agreement.

However, my reading says that basically the deal is done. SEPLA will have to succumb eventually.
Whatever you think it seems that the unions have accepted the inevitable under the conditions accepted by IAG two days ago.
