SLUTTY, BIKINI-CLAD FLIGHT ATTENDANTS: Would you fly with them?

Could They Possibly Be Less Subtle?

Nice to see that someone is keeping alive the enlightened “Coffee, tea or me?” approach to selling an airline.

In this case, Russia’s Avianova Airlines.

    I find it rather ironic that my recaptcha words to post this were “continued groaning”.

    Personally, I want safety and professionalism, not titillation, to be the focus of any airline asking me to entrust them with my life. However, in the interest of fairness, I watched the video about 25 times–just to be sure I wasn’t rushing to judgment.

    Well, a clean plane is a happy plane. Makes that Rally commercial with Paris Hilton from a few years back look positively TAME

    No problem here, but I learned a sane attitude about body exposure when I should, as a child, taught well to understand attitudes/prejudices. We should teach our children well. A healthy aware self discipline does make freedom more fun.

    As long as I get a complimentary beverage, a comfortable seat and a flight attendant who knows how to get me off of the plane in an emergency, I don’t care if they are wearing a clown suit.

    Pardon the distraction, but any idea what the music is?

  • Chuck Burke July 7, 2010, 8:18 pm

    I wonder if they would wash my truck.

    In a heartbeat–if we were Hawaii-bound! Gives new meaning to Chickenfish or Pasta?

    Was Sheryl being funny? Because I would have definately rephrased that one. Snicker…..

    Hmm. Makes me want to dig up those old spam emails about the Russian housewives wanting to meet me.

    A couple of observations strictly from a commercial critique standpoint:

    1. Why were there firemen on the tarmac? I don’t want to see firemen near my airplane. It makes me nervous.

    2. Obviously advertisers believe that sex sells. I don’t know how Russians respond to this type of ad. It isn’t that much different than some of the summer beer commercials we air in the US. Of course, in the US, airlines are no longer allowed to hire based on how a flight attendant (or ground crew person) looks in a bikini. I would like to know what the call to action is, though.
