BBC lunchtime news report seemed to take this and spin it in to a 5 minute 'low cost longhaul' story, i.e. ‘the low cost airline model is coming to longhaul now’.

They compared the cheapest Oasis offering with an equivalent BA one and it came in under it. Then, to be fair, they did say on other dates, the basic BA fare (about 400 quid) was cheaper than Oasis. All fine. But then they went on to say how Oasis was also offering stiff competition to BA's lucrative business market, coming in at just over a grand vs. BA's 4 grand. No insight at all in to any of the other factors which show 'business' class is not a homogenous across the industry and the two products are hardly comparable They then also compared MaxJet's lowest price to NY with BA's 3500 quid fare (i.e. not I class), again not comparing like with like (less dramatic difference in the on-board product vs. Oasis from what I’ve about Oasis, but hardly comparing like-for-like on flexibility/number of flights/other factors). Why is it so hard for even reputable news sources to get anything remotely credible and robust published about aviation?
