If a straight man proposed this about AC female FAs, everyone would be down on him for being sexist and chauvanist. I see no difference here.</font>
I was chatting with the two lounge agents at the US Airways Envoy Lounge in PHL last Thursday, and we got to talking about the old National Airlines ads. (The original National - the one that merged with Pan Am in 1980) Their ads featured attractive female F/As with a caption "I'm xxxxx. Fly me." Apparently this ad campaign was very effective for the airline. So who's to say that a calendar wouldn't help to boost business? After all, sex sells. But I think the maximum amount of success can be achieved if there were two types of calendars - one of the ramp boys for those who like to look at males, and one of the female F/As for those who like to look at females.
