Default Speedbird Commercial
This has to be the BEST airline commercial that I have ever seen.

Enjoy!

Their heritage of what? Corruption, mis-management, bankruptcy, abrogated ethical responsibilities, short-sighted greed, and stupidity?

Leaders who can only see as far ahead as next quarter's earnings call probably don't have in any interest in or awareness of the past either.

And do you think BA has had a checkered past ?
On the second part you're correct and it is sad given the industry mindset in this day and age.

Who put their precious bodily fluids in your cornflakes this morning?

I am sure BA has their share of all of the above, but silly wabbit commercials aren't about reality. Enjoy all those pretty planes, know that Brits invented aviation and are still the only true practitioners even though they have to fly mostly American aircraft, know that the Concorde never made a dime, but it looks stylish.

Look! Shiney things! It could use more hotpants though.

Fantasy is pretty, we don't like to look at the ugly reality. I am just happy that BA is around to get me out of London during the next round of riots.
