I had a big laugh about this news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7320497.stm).
It has been days since it was open and everything was chaotic. The bagage system was horrible, hundreds of flights were cancelled, people slept all over the terminal, all passengers are angry.
They have to learn from the Singaporeans (who were British slaves and colony) who are doing very well in Changi. Or even learn from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta Airport. English people can look down at third world people and deport all immigrants, but it turned up they cannot do the job themselves. hahahahahahahaha.....
If I had the power to make a change, I would replace the sophisticated computerised baggage system with labour intensive system. Meaning: rather than invest £4billion on machine, they should have employed migrant workers as porters to carry the luggage from terminal to planes and vice versa. Just like those porters in Medan Airport, Ngurah Rai dan Banda Aceh airport.. After all, there is no machine can replace human labour.
I am just trying to remember when Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta (CGK) opened in 1985. I don't think there was any chaos as big as Heathrow now. Hmmm... and people here call Indonesia a 'third world' country? Hmmm...
Let's dig in to Garuda's on-time-performance archieve. Has BA broken Garuda's record in just 3 days? Wow.. Congratulations British Airways! Congratulations BAA! Maybe BA's staff need to have work experience with Garuda and BAA staff with Angkasa Pura..
