So, it turns out; a shockingly (but funny) graphic tweet by U.S. Airways featuring a woman and a toy airplane has led to an investigation and a red-faced apology by the airline. The photo was of a naked woman lying fully exposed on a bed with her legs spread up in the air and a toy plane jammed right between her legs. The photo, which i would have shared on here uncensored if I knew I wasn't going to have my blog taken down, was shared by the airline late Monday afternoon while responding to, yet another, disgruntled customer who was angry about a recent flight delay. I say "yet another" because U.S. Airways has been on the receiving end of many of my rants while traveling, leading me to believe that I am definitely not alone in this battle.
Anyway, the extremely inappropriate (but funny) image sent to one Twitter user came with the caption: "We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail it here for review and follow-up." THAT...IS...HYSTERICAL! So, instead of a link matching that description, there was a link to the photo. This only tells me that whomever handles U.S. Airways Twitter page has photos like this saved on their computer and it was accidentally uploaded, which is an absolute nightmare for anyone who handles web content. This should be an example of keeping your work computer clean of anything pornographic, which reminds me; I have to clean my computer out when I get to work.
One of two Twitter users, who previously asked for "some free stuff" for her delay, responded to the direct tweet by saying, "@USAirways that was not inappropriate at all lol." Needless to say, the tweet was soon deleted on the airlines' Twitter feed and replaced with this apology: "We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We've removed the tweet and are investigating it." If you ask me it was a little too late. Take a look at some of the immediate responses U.S. Airways received on their Twitter:
