Hmm:
BEN MARLOW
CHIEF CITY COMMENTATOR
So:
Having already ruined Easter for many when it cancelled 300 flights over the bank holiday weekend, BA has axed a slew of summer flights including to Miami, one of the most popular destinations for British tourists.
Earlier in the week, it had shelved 112 flights to European and other Mediterranean destinations, wrecking the travel plans of 10,000 passengers, on top of 96 flights that were scrapped on Tuesday.
112 flights should have – around – 40,000 people on them. If they’ve only sold 10,000 tickets what should a business do?
But this is the real joy. Ben Marlow keeps telling us how the world would just be so much better with good and precise government planning of the economy. He’s very much a corporatist.
Outsourcing is partly to blame but so too is the sheer complexity of BA’s operations,
So, planning something relatively simple like an airline is sheerly complex. While making those precise, surgical and properly planned interventions into something as simple as an entire economy will work wonders, will it?
