Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostNot quite a big bang - they haven't moved a lot of flights over there yet. They are still flying out of all the other terminals as well at the moment - next month they move everything over there.
I think that it's more down to heavily unionized baggage handlers having to work with a new system, and not liking it.
And couldn't they have predicted the unionised staff chucking the odd wrench in the works?
20-20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Now, call me a big scaredy cat, but Big Bangs usually end up as a CF to some extent. With something as hyped as T5 was, surely they would have been better doing this gradually?
No glory in that though....

How hard can it be?
Having done a lot of travelling in Europe/US/etc, I am amazed by how only BA were caught in this. Where is the BAA CEO or any spokesmen indeed? This is entirely their doing. Just to think that in places as far away as Hong Kong and Athens, entire airports (not just terminals) were dismantled and were migrated 10-20 miles away overnight and without a hitch! Just wait till 2012 for the mother of all fiascos to take place!Last edited by Dow Jones; 31 March 2008, 15:13.

My bmi flight on Friday and again today were both on time.
I think they are pulling out the stops to look good, so thanks to BA for that!

I bet the other airlines are thanking their lucky stars that BA got exclusivity of the terminal. Wouldn't suprise me if they also put a few of their best piss-takers into the terminal as moles to stir it up a bit.
