Reply To: BA ‘all systems down’ again (apparently) at T5

It seems BA have decided to reduce the schedule to try and better manage the endless issues. So I think in the next couple of weeks you can expect full flights, with 3-3 in CE on short haul. Doubtless they’ll be no proactive compensation for this.
I genuinely wonder whether BA can really recover long term, the years of cuts and the use of C19 to slash staff are now really starting to bite. They were offering double pay + £25/hour to staff to stay on after their shifts completed yesterday.
I don’t expect this to be a hack, just more problems they’re experiencing with ever increasing frequency having gutted their IT services. You can rid yourself of cost by dumping managers and IT support and experience no falloff in service, until you do. It’s then catastrophic as you have no in house skills to resolve anything.
