I understand times are tough for the airlines. They have to cut costs wherever they can manage. I propose a return to the flight attendant outfits of our recent past, such as these miniskirts and short-short numbers from Southwest Airlines of the early ’70s. As you can see after the jump—along with a trio of Pacific Southwest Airlines stewardess beckoning you to their space age bosoms—there’s no down side to this proposal: shorter skirts mean less fabric costs, less transported weight, and a cabin so happy even terrorists would fly beatifically to their destination savoring every minute.

    But JetBlue has TVs where you can watch “Everybody Loves Raymond” reruns! Isn’t that BETTER?

    (of course not)

    I would have a rant for the pussified state of our society based on the departure of hot stewardesses, but this was a weekend in which a plane was evacuated and a flight cancelled because the pilot used some curse words in a phone call. So, really, there’s nothing left to say about airlines after that.

    Hot pants and skirts w/boots was big in the 70’s - an awsome marketing move for Southwest. But check it out folks, a lot of nice legg and nothing else is showing. These girls were not only wearing underware, you can’t see it because the supposedly “shocking” outfits were discreet enough to cover everything but those nice leggs.
