I suppose he has a number of achievements - namely securing a pretty robust future for BA.

Nevertheless, the obsession with 'superior' investor returns probably has devalued the value/asset of the BA brand. His successor will need to map a tight course that balances shareholder needs with ensuring the right level of investment goes into the business (particularly replacing all those old aircraft) and genuinely growing the business (how much further cost cutting can be realistically achieved?)
