Petty Rivalry

"British Airways has airbrushed a scene of arch-rival Sir Richard Branson out of its in-flight James Bond movie "Casino Royale", sources close to the company said on Monday.

The Virgin Atlantic chief is briefly featured in the original 007 film at an airport security scanner, but can only be seen from the back in the edited version.

Shots of the tail fin of a Virgin plane have also been obscured."

How much lower can competition take the companies?? Do you think a 2 second shot of Richard Branson would make you switch airlines from BA to Virgin? NO. Maybe high prices and crappy service will. Grow up BA..you have got better things to do!

Infact this airbrushing scandal has proved to be negative publicity for BA. I haven't seen the movie yet, but now i know that it features Richard Branson and Virgin Atlantic tail fin, thanks to BA :) !!!
