I am in total agreement with the flight attendants. The ads are demeaning; I will not fly Spirit airlines.
As a frequent flier of Spirit Airlines I find great amusement in the ads. In fact I pass them around to all of my friends, ladies included, and we all get a laugh out of them. I’m so sick of hearing about what women think they’re being thrown back into (40 years ago). Having everyone wear an apron is not throwing women back into some kitchen their mom used to cook in. Some of the ads are certainly a play on an industry women seem to love being in or else they should give their money back, why don’t they take their attack to the women who infest this country with their “right” to make a living in porn which degrades all women instead of some marketing geniuses that allow these women to keep their jobs.
This reminds me of that “MILF” sale that they ran in December 2007 which they claimed stood for “Many Islands Low Fares”.
Airlines already insult our intelligence on so many levels. Are they going to insist on doing so even further with these pathetic “we didn’t know any better” ad campaigns?
Re: Sexist and demeaning advertising by Spirit Airlines
How unfortunate that the “people” running this airline have so little consideration for their clientele and their employees. The “people” must have been watching too many “Girls Gone Wild” DVDs. Only a tiny percentage of women think degrading women is all right. When the time comes to select an airline, Spirit will not be on my list.
The ad is rude and disrespectful. I will not fly the airline. Its disheartening to see that some people still don’t get it after all these years, and if anyone is sick of hearing women complaining, well that is too damn bad. if someone is out of line they are going to hear about it.
the apron ad is a bad idea. Flight attendants are there for many many safety reasons. They are not merely waitstaff and the aprons clearly give the impression that that is what they are. put the ads somewhere else.
Spirit Airlines is my absolute favorite airline. It has allowed my family of 5 to travel places that we could have never afforded!
I enjoy the creative advertisements which put a smile on my face. Various ads are going to always insult someone at some level. Lighten up! We have much worse problems in this economy to worry about.

You tell ‘em, Julie, and all the others who posted the truth about Spirit’s sexist and demeaning ads… we need more women like you! I will remember this quote and use it as much as necessary. I also don’t fly Spirit because of their ads. Some day they will have to learn; sooner rather than later or they might just find themselves out of business. LOL. Hit ‘em where it hurts… their pocketbook. It’s the one thing people do listen to. You go, girls!
