Hooters Air. I'm just...I had no idea. Wow.

  • /creeped out.
  • ?They can`t get me from Denver to Vegas next week, for a one week stay?
  • Seriously - what's the point of airport "security" ? It's simply to increase the perceived security, not the actual security. God I hate flying...
  • Hooters Air aircraft pix. That's a fine looking pair of thrust reversers.
  • and it would go from Myrtle Beach to Vegas - why is that so not surprising?
  • True horrible story: I spent my first honeymoon at Myrtle Beach - my now ex-husband was the sound guy for a cover band called the Parrots, so we went along for their gigs up the coast to Myrtle; that was our honeymoon. I was 3 months pregnant & barfing a lot, but in between working the cover band drunk fest tequila bar gigs and barfing in the $35 a night fancy Mo-Tel, we walked along the boardwalk and saw half dead sharks. Good times, good times! Not.
  • There's also a Hooters sponsored 'minor league' golf tour. I also used to date a girl that worked at Hooters. (Something deep inside of me makes me blurt that out every time Hooters is mentioned.
  • I'll bet they're not stingy with pillows on that airline. *snort*
  • Ahhh yes. Helium implants. I knew their day would come.
  • Ah, what a dystopic future we might be headed to: playmate-grade, scantly-clad air hostesses, implanting their cleavages on my pupils as they give me my slated peanuts' baggie... but before you are allowed to board, full cavity search is mandatory on all passengers.
  • This is the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard of.
  • What's the punchline? I don't get it.
  • Interestingly enough, I have heard that the stewardesses are not dressing in the Hooters Restaurant attire. I wonder how many refunds people will be seeking after they walk onto the planes and their hopes and dreams are dashed.
  • Hate to admit it, but I flew Hooters Air from DC to Myrtle in '03 and if I remember correctly, they did wear their little outfits back then. The only notable thing about the trip was the horrible turbulence. And the fact that the flight was dirt cheap. But the girls weren't really flight attendants because all they did was lead us in a trivia game and throw us some peanuts. /huge joke potential
  • [insert "... may be used as a flotation device" joke here] [anyone but me thinking of the video for "Toxic"?]
  • Aaaah, I'm a vetran flyer of Hooters Air! I thought it was ridiculous the first time I heard of it, but it's about the only affordable option for flying between NYC and southern NC (or Myrtle Beach, a living, breathing meat market). My first time, I was expecting a male-dominated bunch, but to my surprise it was a varied cross-section just like any other US domestic flight [so it's about the price afterall, those muffins have nothing to do with it] I had to laugh though. Once we reached "cruising" altitude, the two Hooters gals unzipped their orange jump suits to reveal their tiny orange shorts and exposing tee shirts. The best part, seeing the two 80-ish year-old women sitting in front of me being served their complimentary sodas with a face-full of cleavage!! They didn't seem to mind... ok, so it made for an interesting flight to say the least
  • Oh yeah, the thought passed my mind several times: "what a way to go if this damned plane crashes! It will be a total joke!"
  • Good to see you again, Fes!
  • thanks, good to be back :)
  • This has been around for a while, hasn't it? Sounds like good marketing to me. If I had the opportunity I'd choose Hooters Air in a heartbeat. Sounds like fun.
  • Definitely sounds like fun but since I've got a bit of a phobia where flying is concerned I'd only fly with Hooters if they'd assign a "stewardess" to rub her boobies in my face every ten minutes or so until we landed. I'd really appreciate that.
  • second!
  • The only notable thing about the trip was the horrible turbulence. Turbulence+buxom stewardess on T-shirts... now that's a flight plan! /still on 'draw a piggy' mindstate
  • Well, now I know what airline I'm taking to Vegas for my bachelor party.
  • The only notable thing about the trip was the horrible turbulence. With Hooters Air though, in the event of a water landing you have all those extra floatation devices sorry
  • In the shuttle bus from the parking lot to the airport terminal, when the driver says "what airline?" once in a while there'll be a guy that says "Hooters Air." It always gets a giggle.
  • Sheesh- I'd find the airline that is next to the Hooters check in desk and just lie.
  • I'd have thought that something like this would have made for a far more likely target for 9/11 hijackers -- depravity of the Western world and all that. (Please don't turn me in...)
