Honestly didnt expect to go through such trouble to gain such basic information. Usually the information should be on the website.
It is.
I've tried to restrain myself, but I simply can't. You are a student, doing a degree. Learn to study.
This information isn't hard to find, people have already directed you.
Of course, you could try something like - phoning BA and asking them, or how about oldskool writing to them, with a list of questions, and seeing what they come back with?
University isn't a place where you are spoonfed information, it's a place where you study. Learn to research.
These are basic questions, you're after basic information.
BA, when were they founded,
information at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways
- again, on their Wiki, their website, or, if you really are unsure- phone them and ask them.
the usual company profile/background
- there's a lot of it on their website, on their Wiki. Worse, a simply search for
British Airways company profile -
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...q=f&oq=&aqi=g8 - returns more hits than one would expect.
I'm really sorry if this feels like I'm laying into you, that isn't my intention- I am just gobsmacked that university has come to THIS!
