Does the P.C. stand for "politically correct?"

The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that P.C. Air, a Thai airline startup, is making a point to hire transsexual flight attendants. The airline has recruited six so far and plans to look for more.

"I think these people can have many careers, not just in the entertainment business, and many of them have a dream to be an air hostess. I just made their dream come true," airline executive Peter Chan told the Herald.

Not exactly Catherine Zeta-Jones.

If you’re in the business of making peoples’ dreams come true, you’re doing a great job, Pete. But if you’re supposed to be safeguarding your investors’ money and returning some kind of equity on their stock, the jury is out. We’ll have to wait and see if the flying public is ready for transsexual flight attendants.

Katoys on the run LOL.

[fightinJAG]

This is all about publicity for (underage boy) sex tourism to Thailand.

This is where pedophiles go to “vacation” and advertising that fact is all this airline is about.

[Stentor]

Eddie Murphy is going to be made spokesman.

“Is that a bag of peanuts in your pocket....or are you just happy to see me”, replied the male customer on his first PC Air flight

How you gonna know?

[Blue Jays]

Who gives a rat's turd if the flight attendants are male, female, gay, straight, caucasian, black, asian, transexual, bisexual, or whatever.
Get passengers safely to their destinations, at reasonable cost, in comfort, and without losing luggage.
That is what the flying public seeks from the airlines. Nothing more, nothing less. The notion of specifically seeking transexual flight attendants seems silly.

Talk about some “bad Thai”

[pogo101]

It’s a trap!

The lavender mafia discriminates and celebrates about it.

“I just made their dream come true,” airline executive Peter Chan told the Herald.”

I bet you did, I bet you did. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Say no more. Say no more. (please, really, say no more).

Nambla members are going to Thailand to Bangkok.

[SC DOC]

Not exactly Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Number 2 is kinda cute (comparatively speaking)

[Tex-Con-Man]

This will make for some interesting TSA pat-down conversation.

Makes business sense. The preponderance of visitors to Thailand are perverted sex tourists. I know, I know, you do legit business there or you enjoy the ancient ruin sites. Save it for your priest. Phucket on your passport.

Whatever happened to MY dream as a passenger?

[bert]

Some think the guy in the hat is named Nick but others think it is actually Laz

There are a bunch there. I was in a Bangkok market with a Thai friend, and he was pointing out the dudes who were made out to look like chicks. Some of them took a bit of careful looking to be sure.

FTA: "I just made their dream come true."

A dream for them, a nightmare for families with kids. That leaves them with a tiny niche market of LGBT and maybe Code Pink. If Elton John becomes a Frequent Flyer, they might pull it off.

[F15Eagle]

I’m more in shock at the bright red paint on the underbelly of that SW plane. That has to be the 70’s or early 80’s.

Kim Kardashian started out as a dude?

She sure fooled me.

Take it from a former Hollywood resident, look at the cheeks.

What kind of FReepers are we allowing in these days?

[Charles Henrickson]

And the winner of Miss Transsexual Flight Attendant 2011 is . . . IT'S A THAI!

[mikrofon]

Passenger: “Are you *really^ a transsexual from Thailand?”

FA: “Yes, Siam.”

Despite semantics...this reminds me of (in so many words) by Woody Allen:

“There is an advantage to being bisexual. You double your chances
of a date on Saturday night.”

[PGR88]

Let that be a lesson to you businessmen inclined to hit on nice-looking Asian stewardesses.

[peteyd]

I’ve been noticing, that they can’t get rid of their man-sized ears.

Passenger: How 'bout some coffee, Johnny?

Johnny: No thanks!

[Grut]

Hey, as long as they can pour drinks, serve peanuts and look reasonably credible, who cares? It’s not like the modern airliner is a singles bar.

[ViLaLuz]

Next they’ll want to enlist into the U.S. Armed Forces.

If I were single. I go for the evens, not the odds.

[Neidermeyer]

Is that a “NATIONAL” airlines pic? the colors on the jet look similar..

[null and void]

You don't like those odds?
