Da Plane! Da Plane! AirTran Has Pinup Model on on Side of Plane

Did anybody see this? Florida-based AirTran airways is under fire for the swimsuit clad by-products of its alliance with Sports Illustrated. The picture of a swimsuit model on the side of one of their AirTran’s Boeing 737s has their flight attendants, citing moral folly, upset.

“It is our feeling that this is not only contrary to the family image that this company tries to promote, but also potentially offensive to their female employees, the majority of their flight attendants who will have to work on this aircraft,” AirTran’s Association of Flight Attendants objected, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Additionally, the AFA suggested the image of the girl in the swimsuit “creates a potential for verbal abuse by male passengers.”

I love what AirTran had to say; and it does make sense: AirTran has simply said that the partnership is ending soon anyway, so when that happens, problem solved.

Love their answer.

Danica Patrick --- Nascar Swimsuit Model : )

Just looking over the net and of course the Sports Illustrated Swimwear edition is a huge topic. Of note, the articls on Danica Patrick. In many articles Patrick is often compared to the Anna Kournikova of the racing world due to the fact that she has yet to win in the IndyCar Series and her best points finish to date is 7th, which came last year in 2007. But, she continues to draw media attention not only because she’s a woman competing in a man’s sport, but also because she’s an attractive woman competing in a man’s sport.

My take on it .... "You go girl." Get the money while you can! : ) One's got nothing to do with the other. Racing - vs - modeling ... just be glad you can do both! : )
