Hmmmm. I think you're right that length of service means nothing when it comes to how a service is delievered, but to make a sweeping statement that newer crew are better than older crew seems a touch unfair.

Very true, but people are taking into account one airline's ability to re-route or reorganise flights should problems arise and at that British Airways excel (perhaps because they're sooooo used to doing it! )

I think an ad along the lines of "over the past five years, our crews have delivered 2 babies, saved the lives of eight people having heart attacks, dealt with 500 people feinting, 7 strokes and four serious allergic reactions : there's more to our crew than you might think" might be a good thing to put on TV.

- my ad text was shocking, but I don't work for Saatchi.
