Well, you pays your money and you takes your choice, I suppose. Personally, I'd choose BA or Virgin, in the best possible seat I could 'blag' my way into. (Particularly difficult with Virgin, I might add. Must act like a badly behaved rock star next time.)
I think we can glean from tampabay's story as to what the presentation of this aircraft was like: not very confidence inspiring and remember, tampabay was a CUSTOMER. (Yeah, great. Let's buy five old 747s and provide EMPLOYMENT to people. Kind of smacks of the old Rugby League maxim: 'Never mind t'effing ball, let's get on wee't bloody game!')
This is not to denigrate the heroic actions of all the staff who keep these tired aircraft going, but I really wonder sometimes.
