As usual, another corporation walking over the edge of human decency to try to make a buck. I say leave the employees alone and find something positive and creative to do. That is why they make all those big bucks, right? So they can come up with something better than recycled frat-boy humor.

If it gets people to fly their airline it is probably worth it. With all the job cuts today, be glad you have a job.

Airline stewardesses are professionals. They are trained to save lives in an emergency. They are not walking billboards and the double D reference is tasteless. Spirit is showing a 1960's mentality towards women. Stewardesses are right to stand up for themselves but it's a shame it's their own employer trying to denigrate them.

The story is about alcohol logos, not sexism. What's up with the sloppy headlining?
