Just read about Kingfisher Airlines. Kingfisher is (the leading?) beer company in India, so I suppose it makes sense they operator an airline, too.
Anyways, according to the Economist, the differentiator with Kingfisher Airlines is an "all-female crew wearing distinctive tight-fitting red skirts".

What were they thinking?
Quoted: It seems to me that this experiment should not only subject Jet Blue to substantial fines, but it should issue an apology (and flying freebies) to all of the passengers it tested or get slapped with a public action lawsuit.

It makes sense that a discount airline specializing in commuter flights would bring this up. If I now have to checkin my luggage when I didn't before, that might just be enough annoyance/overhead for me to drive instead.

Interesting...
Quoted: I took my first commercial airline flight in the 1960's, while still in high school.

Here, before I forget them, are some of my more vivid memories of my earliest airline experiences.

Add this to the graffiti incident.

Hmm...this + the recent hole in an Alaska plane do NOT inspire confidence in Alaska Airlines.
Quoted: But the KING 5 Investigators have obtained photos of the inside of some of their planes that the company would never want you to see: image after image of graffiti buried in the bellies of a number of planes where luggage, cargo and animals are loaded.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."
1 FaverViewed: 3 TimesQuoted: After spending $5 million, Seattle officials decided to close the city’s five automated public toilets, which had become filthy and costly.
