A little unfair given how many more passengers are carried by BA

Its a bit of a dumb poll to me in that it isnt based on any real criteria. Who I'd prefer to fly may depend on a numbr of things, such as destination, class and purpose of trip.

Thanks,
Sarah

Just voted and its 55 - 45 in favour of BA

would it be wrong to vote mopre than once?

PS the link is broken - I had to cut n paste the last bit onto my browser. Any tech savvy flyers able to correct it?

Indeed Slinks, quite dissapointing for the Times, though the article does have a link onto this little gem: Worlds Richest Pets. Bless.

Thanks,

Just to throw something in though, as said more people fly BA, but the difference between the bars when I voted isn't that much, so it does show something.
But yes, useless poll.

I've just taken the poll and its 53% to virgin! Have we on v-flyer all been voting? Good to see VS in front even if it is a stupid poll! I'm sure the newspapers will sue it as a credible source in the future.

I tried voting twice just to see [:I]......of course, but have been unable too and as ryand said '53% to Virgin now' Was 45% when i voted so V-flyer is obviously making the difference [^]

It is a stupid poll and i can see on here as well as other frequent flier forums people are voting for Virgin well see if a poll is actually used as a 'source' in future BA/VS articles.

It appears to stop people voting twice, although using a different computer, with a different IP address would probably out wit it !

It probably uses a cookie or an IP address to stop multiple votes from the same person.

You can vote more than once! Voted three times already, just have to wait a few days for your IP to change

It wasn't to stop people voting twice. The original link,which was the full address, was broken because only half of it was 'clickable' and could only be opened by cutting and pasting it. I edited it and shortened it to tidy it up and correct it.
