Don't fly BA during the Olympics

Then it ends with the "Don't Fly" message which can only be aimed at Brits. Very odd. I think the video is excellent and I don't normally say that about BA adverts. The concept is surely about "Britishness" and just asking Brits to patriotically support the GB Olympics team. And of course BA want millions of visitors to fly with them to the UK! Seems simple enough to me. Can you imagine the faux furore there would be if BA launched a campaign to persuade Brits to bugger off from the UK when the Games are on? It would be the modern day equivalent of Maggie putting her hankie over the model jet with the "arty" tail design that BA had on their planes for a number of years. The Sun, Mail and Telegraph would be screeching on for weeks about it. Given the huge play BA make about being the UK's favourite airline they're not going to step out of line. Quite agree with your thoughts. 'Stay in Blighty, support Team GB, enjoy the Olympics in the host country, your country'. |
