Bit of fun - if airlines were...

Dogs:-
BA would be a ST Bernard - big and dopy, but occasionally does nice things
Ryanair would be a Jack Russell - looks really good, but bites you every time you turn your back.

Cars:-
BMI would be a Jaguar - once great, but now in decline
Air France would be a Toyota - usually reliable, but can have fatal faults

Celebs:
VS would be Ben elton - can be great, but is known to disappoint sometimes
...

Well, you get the idea, and can probably come up wit loads of others...musicians, high street stores, politicians...?

Cars:-
BMI would be a Jaguar - once great, but now in decline

Well that depends who you ask, I prefer the latest Jags from the older models, and if you look financially at the latest results from Jaguar Land Rover:
Net debt is down 85% from 2010
Retail Volume Sales is up 16% for the same period
Wholesale Volume Sales is up 26% from 2010-2011
Net Income before tax is £1,115M up from £51M

You can probably see I'm a jaguar man.

But before this turns into a car debate,

Celebs:
Ryanair = Katie Price/Jordan, Has its fair share of fans but is generally hated and is known to be Cheap.
