LGW Vulture,

No-one is slagging anyone off, we are discussing a theory. Blink have very deliberately courted PR, with claims such as Europes First Air Taxi Service, 30% cheaper than other alternatives etc etc etc. They did this to be noticed and discussed, and it has been successfull. The claims that they were going to revolutionise the charter business are unlikely to go un-noticed and as such they put themselves up for judgement, the fact that some people agree and some people don't does not constitute slagging off, simply discussion of a topic.

Their marketing is proving succesfull at obtaining many direct clients, I have spoken to more than one broker who has lost clients to them. But as yet no-body knows if it is going to be successfull as in increasing the balance sheet or showing a return.

If we were discussing the Merits of an Apple Mac over a PC< or a Blackberry over an iPhone, nobody would get all bent out of shape, it's just not normal.
