San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Michael Stetz has a fun piece about Southwest Airlines’ new flight of fancy. His main contention about the plane (shown left, courtesy of Southwest Airlines): if the airline won’t allow scantily clad women aboard their planes, then what are they doing splashing a bikini-clad model on the side of a 737?

  1. Trademark infringement?

  2. Cashing in at a time when fuel prices are up and ticket sales are down. This is still America, isn’t it?

  3. Bring back the hot pants and watch sales increase. Now, that is a stimulus plan ; )

  4. I’d pay good money for A Gentleman’s Flying Experience.

    That’d get my tray-table in its upright, locked position!

  6. I think I’ll sit in the forward cabin…maybe around row 3 or 4…in a port-side window seat.

  8. The abberation was kicking off a scantily clad woman. This is more like the real Southwest making a comeback. You remember that Southwest: hot pants, free 1/5s of whiskey during a fare war, etc..

    You have no idea how bad I want to be Tony Stark… and not for the metal suit either.
