Models in adverts do not equate to professionals in the sky!

So said a BA person, very drily, in response to this!

I'd second that !

Is it just me, or is there a touch of the playground about BA's reply?

Both have gone through a CAA-approved training package on emergency procedures so are BA saying VS crew wouldn't be professional in an emergency?

Them grapes is sour....

I think it's more to do with professionalism of service.

I did giggle when I read the quote. More to do with the fact that I dont think BA should be commenting on another airlines crew just as their own are about to announce ANOTHER set of strike dates.

Them grapes is sour....

Ditto.

I had 2 fantastic flights on VS recently, LHR--JFK--LHR, in fact must get around to doing a TR soon.........

Each to their own but but I hope someone asks BA (representative) to justify the claims that VA staff are not professional.

Remember they are there primarily for safety reasons...

pot kettle black comes to mind!

BA advertising (including its own website) also features the pretty young lady and the suave handsome young man working as crew which is often far from the reality once onboard ...

Quite frankly if BA PR really did respond with that, shows me a huge level of unprofessionalism whether striking or not! v(

However, its all very well to have a fancy ad campaign, but NO SUBSTANCE. So yet Virgin has an award winning ad campaign that entices the customer and with the service makes them the sexiest airline.

BA should really know better than to comment on another airlines crew that are not as well trained during strikes! (whether CAA approved or not). Also they should be more concerned the fact that BA didn't place in any category. Sort your own house out before going after others!

On a lighter note LOVE 'come fly with me" was watching some old Airport episodes on YOUTUBE, funny how well they 'invented' these characters y)
