Hooter's Air goes bust?
Posted by: fivver | March 29, 2006 at 04:15 PM
First Song Air and now Hooters.
It is a sad day for the airline industry

Thanks Dave for keeping us abreast of the news!

I wish I thought of that.
Snork @ Fivver.

I am sorry to say that I have flown Hooters Air...the
Hooters girls are very, very perky. Even at 4 am.

I'll bet the floatation devices will be Ebay collectibles.

"in the event of a water landing, your flight attendant may be used as a flotation device"

Perhaps the problem was that the employees were a bunch of boobs!

A story about Hooters Air, and all we get is one picture of two Hooters girls from the back?! What shoddy reporting.

"Please return your flight attendant to her full upright and locked position."
Goodby Hooters Air and 'thanks for the mammaries!'

But I won't go There.

Knockers of this airline may be reminded that other airlines have not been doing so well either.

but the male passengers might also be in an upright and locked position!

Some quotes:
In the case of Hooters, there's a double whammy.
Oh. ... --- ... Really? (Not Realie)
and ...
Fewer flights mean fewer people coming to the destination ...
Really? Dang, I hate it when that happens!
and ...
We're going to put it to bed ...
... um ... nevermind ...

I know some passengers who will be melancholy.

The areola uh, AIRline industry has been experiencing a hangover for years.

(mild caution on link) Might be a good thread for a random ramparts pic. We may've seen these (I mean this) before.

I'm surprised to hear Hooters Air wasn't more of a success. I thought it had big things in front of it.

I think this calls for a moment of silence and deep contemplation as to the unbearable loss suffered by all

Alright, let's see if I got this right. The moral of this storey , if there is one, is Dont Hesitate To pull Out?

And so the jet age emerges from the decollet-age.

While I normally eschew bringing a topic as divisive as politics into an otherwise congenial gathering of high-minded individuals, I feel compelled to state my belief that this NEVER would have happened under Bill Clinton's administration...

Sorry, Dave and Judi. Someone scooped me on breast related news.
I'm just guessing here that the cabin's of Hooters Air were probably a few degrees cooler than other airlines...

"Attention passengers. For those of you on the right side of the plane, you can currently see a gorgeous panarama of the Rocky Mountains, tinged with the last rays of golden sunlight playing along its majestic ridges. You on the left can see the Eiffel Tower and Gibralter, as well as the worlds largest pretzel, King Kong, and Elvis."

A-w-b-h: Some peopel consider it an honor to be the beneficiary of my pedantry. I, of course, single out no one for derision, as all are fair game, though some are fairer than others by virtue of their own misjudgments.
Your implied threat to destabilize the well-earned solidarity of my blog brethren and sisteren through use of inflammatory initials is, to say the least, unwise. Should this continue, as I strongly hope it does not, I will be forced to unleash lethal countermeasures, by which many will suffer. Out of respect for blogkind, I ask that you withdraw your weapons without delay.

So...in keeping with the spirit of this thread (and Jay Leno's famous observation)
Did Hooters...pop out? fall out? or drop out? of service?

A wbh ... HAR!

Hooters Air went tits up.
Posted by: Brad | March 30, 2006 at 05:59 PM
Dang, no Hooters airline, and apparently no Hooters interplanetary shuttle service either...
...or maybe they'll have to find girls with all-natural assets instead of silicone and plastic-enhanced bimbos...now that's a nice thought!

Went into Victoria's secret once, was approached by a sales clerk offering to let me feel of the new water-filled falsies. I left her with her mouth hanging open, "No thanks, I grew my own."

Dave,
You mentioned Jim Korenthal in your March 29th Blog and I wonder if it is the same Jim who used to own Korenthal Associates in NY and wrote the software PHDBase odd on for Vsual Foxpro. If it is could you please pass on my contact details and ask him to contact me.
Thanks
