News Editorial
It is amazing that
considering the real peril this aircraft
was in, that all were safe. The crew are
to be commended for their flying skills in
bringing the aircraft down in relative
safety and their professionalism in
getting all onboard off safely.

British
Airways has seen it all in the
past few years after attempting to
prejudice a Christian woman from
wearing her Cross at work. They
have had industrial tribunals,
poor public relations, cancelled
flights, lost bags, security
alerts, fines for price fixing, a
disastrous opening of Terminal 5
at Heathrow and before that this
crash. It's all happening at BA,
isn't it? |
