According to the BBC’s website this morning, Cathay Pacific has postponed the second part of a new advertising campaign in the light of a possibly airborne sex scandal involving a stewardess and a pilot. Evidently, the tag line, ‘We go the extra mile to make you feel special’ was deemed inappropriate in the immediate circumstances.
Make of that what you will.

There was also a similar Air New Zealand scandal in the eighties, I seem to remember. There was a famous satirical TV show there called McPhail & Gadsby (very funny, it was) which used to make jokes about returning the stewardess to the upright position for take-off and landing.

Didn’t a Quantas flight attendant get fired over making Ralph Fiennes
feel special a few years back?

At least it wasn’t ‘We go all the way to make you feel special’
