Hooters Air Goes Tits Up.
Edited on Thu Mar-30-06 10:03 AM by ohiosmith
There’s more news regarding the collapse of Hooters Air, which is now being sued by Allentown’s (Pa.) Lehigh Valley International Airport for the $1.1 million the airport says are the airline’s unpaid bills. Most of that figure is for unpaid fuel bills, airport officials tell The Allentown Morning Call. "They were behind, and then they caught up, and then they got behind again," airport chief George Doughty says to The Express-Times of Easton, Pa. said. "The amount of money in the matter of a month or two became excessive." The lawsuit comes following Hooters Air’s slow demise over the past four months, in which it made last-minute cancellations that stranded Christmastime travelers and altered flight schedules that sometimes even caught airport officials by surprise.

1. Very easy headline to make, and yet it still makes me laugh!
But, I thought Hooters was all about owls...

6. Hooters; a GOP "Christian family" company
I was working for a subcontractor for Hooters last year. They wanted me to do some pinup art for the company, but I wasn't very comfortable with the idea (I had done similar art for Hard rock, but I just didn't feel right about doing the same for Hooters). The subcontractor told me "no really-they're cool. I know the CEO and upper level managers; they're all good republican Christians! It's really a very family oriented company". Obviously he didn't know my politics!

13. Must have been some real boobs making the decisions.

But, seriously, it's tough to make a go of it as an airline today. Even the really huge ones are, so to speak, sagging.
