This would do far more to enhance the product image to the flying public than some advertising everyone will just block out anyway.
Hey Slim I think you are missing the point here. They are selling the apron space. The airline could care less what the product image is. Here in the United States (that I would say from your picture that you most likely have put your life on the line to protect, thank you), we are not allowed to pick the look of pilots and flight attendants. Besides if we were the company's would pick the fattest ugliest ones they could find because they could probably get them cheaper and they would wear advertising while serving beer. If I recall correctly athletes make a lot of money wearing advertising. I am guess the company is going to make the money on this one.
I am not blasting you just pointing out the problem and why the flight attendants would be upset. I am with you we could all loose a couple of pounds. There are so many good choices available at the airport. Throughout my 13 hour day and 40 minute turns you'd think I should be able to find one.
