[QUOTE=G-BOAC] Good job BA aren't (isn't?) QUOTE]
Well, off topic, but you brought it up.
BA is one company so you should say "BA isn't".
Just like you should say "England wins the football", not "England win". It's disgraceful how the English press get this basic grammar wrong. Actually it's the inconsistency that bugs me most, they will blend a "England do better" headline with "the team is doing better" in the body of the article (for example).
Now back to BA, even though it is British Airways, it is still a singular noun, not a plural.
Apologies for this rant. Feel free to point out my bad grammar or syntax, if ever it pops up it's ugly head.
