Sex Sells - Sometimes
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 4:47:12 AM
They say that sex sells, but apparently - that's not always the case.The international airline Cathay Pacific was just about to launch a big campaign.
They equipped their staff with brand new uniforms.
They had a brand new slogan ready.
'The team who go the extra mile to make you feel special', were the words that should have set the new campaign rolling.
But then, something happened. A pilot and a stewardess decided to have some fun in the cockpit. The fun included a blowjob, and a photo was taken. And another photo was taken, this time of the stewardess posing sweetly in a cabin seat.
A Chinese newspaper printed the photos and they are now circulating on the internet. You can see the photos by clicking here and here.
The company decided to postpone the campaign because "...the scope for the slogan and campaign to be misinterpreted or ridiculed and lampooned, in light of the cockpit incident, is obvious." as a Cathay management source was quoted as
saying.
The crew shown in compromising situations in the photographs are no longer employees of the company. Surprise!!
Talk about flying high....

...and the other one isn't at all what I expected...here - quite sweet, actually
Talk about earning frequent flyer points!!!
I suspect the word FAIL is going to appear in a few Cathay Pacific satires henceforth

@ Flarin ~ Thanks for those links, I especially enjoyed the last one!
@ Aidia ~ Yeah, there is a reason I posted them as links only.

I know what they're doing wrong.
That's all the scene needed ... some Sexy Saxophone music.
Why of course they're no longer employees of the Airline.
They're probably now politicians as they seem to have achieved the credentials. http://files.myopera.com/Tamil/Smilies/BigGrin2.gif - Ya gotta have some serious scandal potential if you want to be big time players in politics.

Apparently, after every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet', which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Here are some allegedly real maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' Pilots - and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
Pilots: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
Engineers: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
Pilots: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
Engineers: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
Pilots: Something loose in cockpit.
Engineers: Something tightened in cockpit.
Pilots: Dead bugs on windshield.
Engineers: Live bugs on back-order.
Pilots: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
Engineers: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
Pilots: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
Engineers: Evidence removed.
Pilots: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
Engineers: That's what they're for.
Pilots: Suspected crack in windshield.
Engineers: Suspect you're right.
Pilots: Aircraft handles funny.
Engineers: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
Pilots: Target radar hums
Engineers: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
Pilots: Mouse in cockpit.
Engineers: Cat installed.
Pilots: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
Engineers: Took hammer away from midget

@ Sunny ~ It's not the first time someone would take off their clothes to get into politics!
@ Flarin ~ The last one is just hilarious!
( I would have thought they were from JetStar, but perhaps they don't repair their planes...?

Customer: "There are oil spots on my garage floor. I find it reprehensible that I spend $50,000 on a new, top of the line Mercedes and it leaks oil."
I put the car up on the lift - running- and let it run for 3 hours. Upon inspection I did indeed find oil spots on the floor. Here's what I wrote in reply:
"Customer complains of oil spots on his garage floor. Thoroughly inspected undercar components after 3+ hours running on lift, found problem to be semi-melted cosmoline (a metal preservative) stelagtites. Recommended fix: 1 bag of speedy-dry (cat litter for leaky cars). Sprinkle liberally where car sits. Or have your butler do it."
Neither customer nor management were amused.
This comment had nothing to do with airlines, sex, advertising... but it was fun.

I like old jeeps and Harleys. Thats what we say when someone complains about an oil spot left behind by one of our beloved toys.

:sst:Better not fly that airline. They don't know a nose cone from an engine cowling. They even have to tell the aircrew where they're supposed to sit.
