but how do they get away with, under trading standards etc, claiming to be the world's favourite airline?
They no longer do and have not done for many years. If I recall correctly, it was based on the number of international pax carried, as folks like AA carry more but mainly internal.
This change is either sensible or another of the 'thousand cuts' to make up their death. (The thread about possible downgrading of BA Miles is another example, if proved correct) I tend to agree with the suggestion that this is a preamble to reducing CC on SH. However, the point I repeat periodically is that - BA are in the last pahse of their existence and that is only natural. In one form or another, they have been going since the 1920s and not many large companies can sustain themselves that long. All the ususal human forces will bring about their close. The only point of debate is how they will meet their close and when. I say this with no glee or truimph.
