And just for the record, I read your post as saying something was irrelevant when you had said 'Actually No' quoting someone saying it was relevant. Sorry if that is not what you meant.
I believe it is clear they were refuting the statement that 'the truthfulness of skytrax is the very subject of this thread'.
I am puzzled that some refuse to accept any evidence of decline in BA. We had similar attempts to deflect with the glass door ratings.
Now if this were some kind of outlier those refusing to accept the ratings may have a point, but if you consider it in the context of the trends of opinion on this forum, media coverage and complaints published in the media, staff feedback, TripAdvisor reviews, the unanimous opinion is consistent across all media. Indeed it is BAs policy to reduce costs by reducing service, why is anyone surprised when their customers notice that? And what do you think think is special about BA that means their review scores are lower than competitors subject to the same system, that isn't explained by them being, you know, worse? KLM are ranked higher because certainly in economy at least, they are better. And the majority of people travel in economy.
It's like saying labour are going to win a majority today. Now I may very much wish that were the case, but I have to accept that the evidence isn't on my side, and people probably won't take me very seriously. There is enough evidence that those denying decline in BA are going to have to explain how they rationally come to that conclusion.
