Why do you ignore Ayling and Eddington?

Anyway - I suspect that this thread will be derailed completely.

3 off the top of my head:

Introduction of 2006 CW
Saving the airline from collapse in 2009/10
OpenSkies

WW's tenure as BA CEO was generally positive IMO - you must also consider the difficult circumstances. The trajectory that the airline is now taking only really started to come into effect 2-3 years after the IB merger. I suspect the idea of consolidation went to his head. I suspect Alex Cruz gets a lot of flack when really it's Walsh pulling the strings.

A little off topic, but IB as it is today is something WW can be truly proud of.
