I wonder what the discussion would be here, if the 737 would have been named "worst short haul aircraft" by passengers (flying it with ryanair)...
The whole topic is pretty nonsensense.
By not using them I ensure that I won't join that club
Succesfully tried the same for some 10 years, and then got weak last year. They were the only company offering a direct flight at the perfect time, so although not significantly cheaper, I selected them. I was actually quite impressed, comparde for example with the 28 inch seat pitch of iberia the seating was absolutely OK for european standards. Service was marginal, but friendly and appropriate. Both flights were on days with heavy thunderstorms and we were accurately kept current on the latest delay information, the girls at the counter were as quick as FR24 with providing the latest status. Compared to the FR Service I experienced, I would for sure not have put them at the end of the list.
But contrary to probably 90% of the people answering the survey, I would not take that decision after a single flight...
