Poll question: Would you fly on Hooters Air?
Recently found out such an airline existed and it made me wonder about who the clientele are that fly the friendly skies with the scantily clad women.

Please share any thoughts you have on the airline or restaurant. It would be interesting to get both male and female perspectives.

1. I think it does only charter flights
Guys going to Vegas for bachelor parties, doctors & lawyers going on fishing trips, that kind of thing. I don't think the "general public" can just buy tickets and fly somewhere.

6. Nope, if you were interested
You're in luck. It has regular service to Atlanta, Myrtle Beach, Nassau from smaller airports.

3. Pam Am supposedly showed a lot of skin circa 1970

but this was before my time, perhaps someone older and wiser than myself could comment.

I voted no, I would fly the airline if it was a comparative value(ticket wise). To do otherwise is to support misogyny.

10. It is my understanding
That HootersAir came about becaise Myrtle Beach NC was going to lose jet service and the Hooter's owner lives there and started it as a civic service/moneymaking venture. If I was going to Myrtle Beach, then I would fly it. Maybe over and over and over and over and over...

12. Just once I would
I don't really think it would be an enjoyable experience though. Unless one of the flight attendants took a liking to me.

15. Hell Yeah, if it costs the same why not get some entertainment?
Better than whatever crappy movie they offer.

17. if I wanted to fly with my husband
Since 9/11 it would take more than skimpy orange shorts to get my husband on board. If he had Hooters to look forward to, perhaps he would get on that plane.
I'd actually prefer an airline that catered to pampering women. Perhaps with great sympathy and soothing. No men allowed.

18. Your husband still won't fly?
Has that caused any problems? Statistically, driving his vehicle is MUCH more dangerous.

I like your idea for an airline. :-)

Welcome to DU, lyrical di. :hi:
