Great advert, that's how it should be today. I am sure the crews would disagree. It reminds me of the old days of nursing, where matron was the boss.

The link to the British Airways advert below reminds me of my childhood. It really used to freak me out as a kid.

That ending was used for years until they were told to change it as it was not true.

It replaced "We'll take good care of you, fly the flag" which was sung at the end.

Thanks for that Tonks

I notice the swift silent serene part of the slogan that became a famous part of VC 10 promotionals :smile:
