Hi

Firstly, BA is now longer a UK Company, owned by the Spanish.

It is however one of strategic interest, so the UK Government has a veto over certain things, including IT Systems.

i used tp work for BT and had many times worked in large organisations and everyone had some sort of backup power supply.
Think what would happen in a hospital that didn't have backup power, or better not think about it.

I absolutely hate those at the top who automatically move out of one top job to another. We had them in BT as well, never kicked out (or sacked as we know it) but moved sideways to get them out of the way.
This is one I had the misfortune to meet

She turned up at our yard carrying tools and DEMANDED that the store keeper told her who owned them, there were about 200 engineers working out of there at the time.

Said to him if you don't find out and tell me by the end of the day you can come to croydon head office and get your cards. She was evil to say the least.

The store keeper (tom) just smiled and asked where she got them from. She said she saw a workmans tent in Epsom high street ,looked inside and as no one there gathered up the tools for safe keeping and took them home

He did point out that this was BT and those were gas fitters tools,another company he gently explained. She stormed out and like any company with engineers fax started to circulated of a little Indian women carrying a bag with GAS on the side. it got to chairmans office and she was moved sideways to another district pretty damn quick.

look at how often she has been moved on in the link
A degree in Zooology and worked for BT, that must say something
