Can they advertise for a) Other Airlines b) Diet plans c) Victoria’s secret d) Political parties

Why not have them do just what the phone agent does – when delivering you the chicken or beef – “Can I interest you in a juicy steak at Mortons Steakhouse in Miami Beach?” or “how about the Veg-O-Matic for $9.99 – order by 35,000 feet and get this free bag of peanuts”

I am addressing this as a consumer. I have heard about some flight attendants chewing gum and now this idea of becoming a billboard. It seems to me each individual needs to define what it means to have respect for one’s self and others. Honestly, if there is a need to advertise to create funds in this time of economic “down turn,” could we look at the possibility of safety, hospitality, and service to assure comfort; all rendered within the framework of dignity and professionalism for more connecting with the passengers in a caring way. That is what we should sell. We have “dumbed down” almost everything in our world. Please let’s start thinking and living with gracious manners as we help each others feel better about who we are.

Eh, lot’s of restaurants do similar; it’s tacky, yes, but consumers don’t seem to mind (IMHO).

This is very interesting and is likely to happen, I recently went to a restaurant where they have sold space on tables to advetisers, hence now instead of a fancy place mat for your food and advertised one is used. It makes sense while i am trying to kill loads of time coz my guest is late i might as will read what ever is on the table and at times i have acctually made a call, now think of long flight where you have nothing else to do while on a 5 hour plus trip.

Brian – Good point. Man, I’ll have to pitch that to WestJet.

Bill – I did see that a little later on, though I do have to wonder if that’s simply the argument they think they can win. If it was a Coke ad, I bet they’d try a different argument. I’m fine with them fighting against having alcohol ads if they want, but fighting against the airline’s fare sale ads? Not a fight they’ll win.
