- <p> British Airways chairman Lord King's retirement announcement
- on Friday was six months ahead of schedule. During his career
- with B.A., King transformed it from a money-losing state
- enterprise into a publicly owned--and highly profitable--airline. B.A.'s reputation was sullied last month when it
- conceded that employees had used underhanded methods to poach
- passengers from rival Virgin Atlantic Airways. King denied that
- dirty tricks had anything to do with his departure, insisting
- that he wished to remove "uncertainty and speculation" about
- the firm's future leadership.
