I think they are making way to big a deal about this...they are tastefully done and bring a steady stream of revenue into the company. We have way more important things to complain about at Spirit.

If this keeps up, the FAs are going to look like Nascar cars with all the logos plastered on them.

Maybe we can all get those leather jackets with a big "24" or "33" on the back and all the logos too. "Sure we'll give you a 10% paid raise - just wear these jackets!".

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.

I agree with the Spirit F/A's. What a crock! What's next? A minimum of 15 pieces of flare?
