There was also a separate interview with WW in yesterday's paper.

A noteworthy quote on the price-fixing investigation:
BA admitted last month that it had breached competition laws in 2004 and 2005, colluding with competitors over fuel surcharges. Reports suggest BA was shopped by Virgin in return for immunity from prosecution.

“I am not going to say anything on that,” cuts in Walsh. “What is known is that the investigations continue, they are serious civil and criminal investigations, and the lawyers have advised everyone that they should refrain from speculation.

But let me say this: there is a lot of stuff I want to say, and I am looking forward to the opportunity, when and if it comes.”

And a somewhat evasive response to recent baggage problems:
Walsh, when asked to explain the recent baggage problems that infuriated passengers, opts for the longer response. “It was a number of issues . . .” and he cites the freezing fog at Christmas, BA’s predominance at Heathrow, the terminals, BAA’s difficulties – but he doesn’t really provide an answer.
