Nice set of . . . tools.

I hope this airline comes to the United States soon. I will be willing to pay a little extra for the ticket.

“Gone are the days when a US Airline could pick who they feel represents their product and shows it off the best. Now they’re forced to hire dogs.”

In the late seventies the airline hostess’s were hot. The problem is today it is the same girls. I am old too but I am buying the ticket. I want the same class of ladies as in the past!

I guess I just don’t see the issue...planes, girls, skimpy clothes...

Planes? There were planes in those pictures? Sorry, I must have been distracted.

In 1970, my family flew back from Hawaii on Christmas day, the only other passenger was Ed Asner. Evidently he wanted some worship, so he came back to talk to my family/ My Dad, a staunch Conservative, didn’t say a word to him. I went to the back of the plane where the stewardesses where drinking champaign and relaxing. I had a “lay”over in Chicago. Best flight ever!

France finally came up with a

Amazing the power of good makeup.

Is it true communists have more fun?

Well, no, but the more liberals run things, the more you can’t tell the difference.

That’s a pretty cool story! I like the champagne and relaxing thing...you can almost imagine the reams of policies and procedures now to prevent alcohol from passing their lips on company property (the plane)

I’m with your dad on Ed Asner!

Heheheheheh...that was SOOOOOO Seventies!

Right up there with Supertrain.

"...VietJet is "taking us back 50 years by hyper-sexualising a female dominated work group in order to make a few bucks off a couple of cheesy calendars", said Ms Heather Poole, a veteran US flight attendant and author of a book about working the not-always-friendly skies..."

She says that like it's a bad thing!

[rlmorel]

Now, I had a good time in the Seventies, even though the country was largely in a nasty recession about the whole time!

I was only a kid in a small SC farm town.

There wasn’t much there.

Now it’s a Charlotte suburb in everything but name.

A few towns in SC are like where I grew up still. Cameron and North come to mind.

The owner of the airlines is a Vietnamese woman - who looks pretty good in her own right.

Approved!

"I see nothing wrong with it........................"

Me neither...However I bet the critics would love the ads and calendar if our gracious FORMER FLOTUS was allowed to pose in a gorillakini with them...After all, she is the "most admired woman" in the world...They say...
