[edit] Neutrality check

This article deserves to be nominated for a neutrality check because it clearly exhibits a tone representative of advertising and marketing. For instance, in the history section, the article goes into great lengths in providing seemingly irrelevant details regarding the on board services of the airline, without justifying their notability or citing them ("leather seats" ... "soft drinks, chocolate and/or a sandwich is offered as a free of charge").

Furthermore, the article makes characterizations regarding the pricing structure of the airline, and then jumps into subjective and unverified conclusions regarding the implications of this price structure, grossly in contradiction with low-cost carrier. The article further displays its tone of marketing by the use of unjustified adjectives such as "very competitive ticket prices".

Finally, the article uses a structure that builds a rosy picture in all contexts. First, the article affirms that the airline is a low-cost carrier and informs that their prices are very low. Then, the article reaffirms its reader (with the use of "despite) by going into surprising detail regarding the service level that is offered despite the supposedly very low prices. And, at the end, the article mentions that specific aircraft have leather seats, which is of no relevance in a history section.

To top it off, the article clearly plays down the impact of the 2006 incident regarding the airline with the repeated use of "some" as in "some changes" and "some re-training" as well as the use of "one" as in "due to a one incident". This is meant to play down the importance of the incident by making it sound like the changes and re-training were negligible and finishes off by affirming the reader that "nowadays" (this was 2 years back!!) operations are just like before those pesky "restrictions".

I hate to think that this is written by an airline employee.--Jaakovs (talk) 20:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
