If you’re planning to check a bag don’t fly @British_Airways Clearly having problems keeping up and long wait times everywhere we’ve traveled with them.

Organizational structure, like any structure, exists to SUPPORT staff. not hold them hostage to outmoded job descriptions and rigid bureaucracy. Success is found by increasing autonomy and empowering staff to find purpose through mastery of what they are best at.
