slim_slag: Actually bealine, if you read what I posted you will see I do not differentiate between FR and BA service at the price levels I am prepared to pay, so I am hardly BA bashing.
I think this rather proves bealine's point. Assuming that your reference to price levels means that you (like me) fly discount economy on BA, there is a still a large gulf between BA's service levels and FR's service levels. If you cannot see it, or will not see it, this just illustrates an anti-BA bias.
FR themselves will gladly tell you that they provide less service than BA. So why try to puff one up, or denigrate the other?
