THE British Airways boss is alleged to have tried to “gag staff” over the IT meltdown which hit 300,000 passengers – as inexperienced staff in India didn’t know how to launch the back up system, it has been claimed.

PA:Press Association 23 British Airways chief executive Alex Cruz has been accused of being inexperienced.

He wrote: "Dear British Airways, perhaps it's time to reinvest all that money you aren't spending on tea and sandwiches on technology.".

The GMB union said it all could have been avoided if "greedy" bosses hadn't outsourced IT work to India. »
