There's one thing both forums have in common.....
They actually allow, if not demand, that you have a sense of humour; unlike many forums where it's positively discouraged and frowned upon to the point you'd swear it was against the TOS. |

Does the BMI fraternity/sorority have it's own "In Jokes"?
If so, please take a moment to explain them when you arrive, but please don't ask about MUCCIs. Nobody understands that, except La PUCCI :D Happy New Year, you lot :D |
Two words: Cheese Toastie ;)

^ I agree with that. If the BMI do join the BA, please bring it along as well.

Although, it has to be said most DC members do redeem in F and J so I think you're being a wee bit unfair saying it's all premium cabin talk.
Isn't it simply the case that these are different airlines, appealing to different people for different reasons? Vive la difference, I say! |

Cor, there's a lot of BA regulars popping up on this thread! :)

I have no idea which is/was better, as BMI doesn't/didn't fly the routes I want ... apart from the one they scrubbed the day after I booked it :D |

In some ways the BA board resembles a lot of the kind of culture/aspirations which the BA premium cabin brand tries to evoke: a sort of throwback to the era of Noel Coward - complete with class is an important issue, a hint of ill-will to those seeking to go up a class without earning it, a not-entirely-secret willingness to understand the actual way to raise once's class; and of course there's the secret society (cf. the Mucci), the frisson of homosexuality... the whole thing is just a little bit like a novel set in a 1930s Boarding School.
I feel a sociology paper coming on. |

And the DC Board culture is what? Cloth caps and breeding ferrets? :D |

Wow ...
I think some people are taking all this far too seriously. :D |
And with that user-name, he never even mentioned Bears.
I shall never fly BMI again. :D |
Well as a lurker on both BA and BMI boards, I am looking forward to the merger in the FT-scheme-of-things: in the way that most corporate mergers/takeovers are promoted to us ground troops, I am hoping that a merged forum will combine the best elements of the character of both forums.
Although I am really going to miss the brilliant BMI "Rubber Chickens and other Tweets" thread, which captures the essence of the BMI forum :) Shuttle |

Outside of their initial pronouncements, it'll be interesting to see how BA handle Ireland further down the line... |
