I saw this in a thread over on a.net, however I feel it also fits in here.
Basically, BA have had Casino Royale censored to removed the scene involving Richard Branson and, also airbrushed out the Virgin aircraft on the tarmac.
(From the article)
"A BA spokesman confirmed that changes had been made to Casino Royale. "All films are screened .... we want to ensure they contain no material that might upset our customers."

Is this now just petty rivalry or what?

Kev.

Indeed! Absolute madness - though already covered here in the BA forum.

I'll lock this thread, but please feel free to continue discussion in the thread above.

Thanks,
