How to Save the Airlines

How to save the airlines

 

Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.

Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services.'

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.

This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.

Why didn't Obama think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

Hillary LOST the Popular Vote; a Snowy Morning, National News, and Airlines

The current LIE being promoted by Democrats and their so-deep-in-their-pocket-they're-bruised-by-the-nickels-and-dimes MSM [have I mentioned yet that if you believe anything these proven LIARS say after this year, you're a friggin' moron?] is that: Hillary won the popular vote.

                  Trump            Hillary
CNN      60,948,836     61,993,136
NYT      60,913,096     61,917,919
Politico  60,526,852     61,342,576

NO, Hillary did NOT win the popular vote.

 

Let's take a round number of say, at the very least FOUR MILLION votes off the top of those Hillary numbers because of VOTER FRAUD:

 

- Long-time Clinton crony and apparatchik [read: crook], Terry McAuliffe now Governor of Virginia, pardoned 60,000 convicted felons and restored their voting rights, swinging the state for Hillary.

 

- Governor Moonbeam of California issued driver's licenses to illegal aliens, allowing them to vote resulting in several MILLION illegal alien, non-citizen, votes for Hillary.

 

- The corrupt Democrat bastions of Illinois, New York, and California alone turned-out at least 1.8 MILLION dead voters for Hillary, accounting for 90% of the voter fraud uncovered (so far).

 

- No one yet 'knows' how many Soros-owned voting machines changed how many Trump votes into Hillary votes right before the voter's eyes.

So, you do the math. Take four million votes away from Ms. Clinton, and see how those totals compare.

If want to be conservative (see what I did there?), follow Karl Rove's advice. Think of him whatever you will, he's an intelligent man, and he said that the Democrats' fraud amounts to about 5 percent of the vote. That's over three million, so the math still works out.

By any reasonable estimation, Donald Trump won the popular vote.

We had about a half-inch of snow when I left the house this morning, and it was snowing lightly all the way into Anchorage. But it's in the low 20s, and the snow is light and fluffy. Powder swirling around on the roads isn't a concern, and it's cold enough that nothing has gotten slick.

Yet.

We don't need any repeats of the fatal accident from two days ago. That one was caused by a southbound driver who reportedly lost control on an icy patch, went through the median, and hit three northbound cars. Unfortunately, he was killed in the impact, and his family is grieving over the loss of their 19-year-old son.

Let's be careful out there ... please?

I see that Jake Clapper has handed in his resignation.

Could John Koskinen be next?

And just in time for the winter travel-to-warm-places season, the IATA reports that so-called "air rage" incidents on airliners are increasing, up 14% last year.

Sigh ...

Here We Go Again

The Mrs. and I will brave another sojourn thru the wilds of TSA Country as we leave for Sooper Seekrit Destination in the U.S. in a few days.

I read with amusement as other bloggers, safely ensconced in the Lower 48, rant about how they won't fly again for whatever reason (usually concerning the Porno-Scan and/or groping by blue-gloved flunkies). I say amusement because for most of us in Alaska, flight is the only practical means of getting anywhere else. I suppose that, if I were self-employed, I could set aside three weeks for a one-week visit to the Midwest.

Why, you ask? Because it's a seven-hour drive to the state line from Anchorage, and that takes you to the Yukon Territory. Seattle is a three-day drive from here. You can do the rest of the math, but here's a hint: it takes seven days to drive from Anchorage to St. Louis, if you take the most direct route and spend four of those days heading southeast across Canada.

So, we fly. Is St. Louis our destination? No, but that's the point from which we departed to move up here a decade ago. And alas, my employer has the expectation that if I take a week off, I'll return at the end of that week rather than spending the better part of a month cruising the upper two-thirds of North America.

Go figure. :)
