Have to agree. That's a well made commerical. I'm partial to the old school aviation myself. Thanks for the post.

Corporate ethos...that there is a mission to accomplish, not just "we go there cheaper than the competition" which is the approach U.S. airlines seem to think is the only point to be made.

My all-time favorite BA commercial was the one promoting tourism to Great Britain. It featured the wonderful actor, Robert Morley, who only says at the end of the commercial, "All is forgiven. Come home." :lol:
