Well if they want Sunday deliveries they better start with the pay not doing It for a pittance. And this man has the audacity to tell us which days we work when he does not get out of bed for less than £10,000 pounds. It is no wonder BA is a shadow of it's self with people like this in charge of them maybe he could buy some 747's and air drop the parcels with gps guidance systems if he could get any pilots to work for him!

Easily brought in, they just create a complete new duty set then trigger a full office re-sign

As soon as you mention drones for delivery you lose all credibility! Even Amazon only used delivery drones so they would get free publicity not that they need it!
And if the RM drones have a similar battery life to the PDS's! :roll:

To be fair he's talking about island hopping with the drones and getting to those hard to reach rural spots.

Most of the delivery companies are looking into it.

Considering he is a man for all transport he isn't doing very well providing his delivery staff with VANS.

If these drones are anything like the f***ing useless PDA's they will be dropping out of the sky like flies. Hope he's got plenty of money set aside for all the lawsuits.
