I don't think Cruz should be fired/relieved of his duty. After all, he is just a puppet, in a hi-viz.

Alert just sent to my phone saying "BA chief apologises "profusely" after 75,000 passengers were disrupted by an IT meltdown blamed on a power surge"

The fact that this is a news flash on the BBC must show how much his position is now in doubt...

He's been IAG's useful tool, having already cut the costs and services that he was there to do at his proverbial master's call, cuts that had been appreciated by his master's already. And there is always someone who wants to be a corporate showboat and take a substantial public stooge's place, so this game in public is par for the course. Different names and faces, but the corporate culture rot is not just a sign of this Cruz dude.
