LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — US Airways apologized Monday after a pornographic image was posted on the company’s Twitter feed.

The company often responds directly to disgruntled passengers, but was seemingly unaware that one of its replies included a lewd photograph.

“@thatkatzkat We don’t like to hear this, Alex. Please provide feedback to our Customer Relations team here,” read the tweet, which also included a link to a photo of a woman with a model airplane protruding out of a body cavity.

The airline later removed the tweet and apologized for the incident.

Carbon capturing all the Carbon life forms in the UN building by injecting them into the SPR salt domes works for me.

i think that image epitomizes the flying experience most people have today.

and if one did have a plane up one’s ass, i would think this would be a case to call customer service.

The best they could find, considering Major Asshole and all his kin already work for Dark Helmet!

Found the image pretty easily. Another crashed Boeing 777.

Yeah I really have NO clue how the heck that happened but I guess someone behind the computer screen wanted to send a pic of a fat woman’s snizz

I usually like to post pics to threads like this but even a pixilated photo might get me banned. Yikes.

Exactly the kind of idiots they pay for in customer service. Typically low pay and get burned out at the constant stress of being yelled at all day.

Well, it appears that the Boeing 777’s have been having a bad time these last few months.
