An admirable gesture?

Well, it looks like someone at BA is ready to take responsibility for the mess that is T5. Despite the airline posting a yearly profit of £883 million, up a whopping 45 per cent, Willie Walsh has decided to forego his bonus. If you were listening to BBC Radio 4's Today programme earlier, you’ll have heard him say: "I am not getting a bonus. I felt it would be inappropriate in the context of the very disappointing opening of Terminal 5 in March.” Is this an admirable gesture or merely a way to save his own neck?
