Link to BBC website.That absolute arbiter of fair play - BBC Watchdog, [n] is doing another hatchet job on investigation into the airline industry. [:D]
The link above give everyone the opportunity to vote for their favourite airline and give the reasons why you fly with them, though neither the frequent flier schemes or lounges are listed as an option.
The survey also gives the chance to say which airline you will never fly with again, and why.

It would also help if the check-boxes actually lined up with the answers [:w]
(well they dont line up when using IE7, dont know about any other browser)
Edit to add: Yep - It's just an IE7 thing *sigh*

Thing is, how do they work it out? BA often get the 'favourite UK airline' just because they carry more pax than any other. If they did a more sensible calculation comparing the results with the number of pax flown, it would make for a better representation.
It was on while I was preparing dinner tonight, and the example sample of folks showed a completely random result.
Agreed, to make TV, it will undoubtedly be a hatchet job, especially with only a 7 minute slot, if that.
Didn't Panaorama used to be an hour? Clearly the viewing public no longer have enough attention span to last over the dumbed down 30 minutes any more.

In the show no mention of Virgin. I mean American the best? Come on they are not even in the same class as Virgin.
I think the BBC get a good deal from BA/AA for their trips. When we see the results of the poll I bet BA get a good review and Virgin not a mention.
Another BBC phone in con.

Someone was praising BA, must have been a relative of Willy Walsh....[:?]
And American, Jeez, they must have v low standards.
I will be adding my vote....yay vote virgin![y]
