‘I expect Hooters Air to bounce along until they go bust ... It is proof that there is no shortage of stupid ideas in the airline business.’
— HENRY HARTEVELDT

I think he is right on target with his take on it.

I'm not sure what to think about that Jips!!!

LOL!!!

While I'd think now would be a pretty lousy time to start a new airline. . . their chicken wings aren't that great but they seem to be doing pretty goodness business anyway, so who knows?

I bet Bill Clinton will rack up some frequent flier miles with them though. . .

Agreeing with RMD's observation.......

Henry Harteveldt, an airline analyst for Forrester Research in San Francisco, described Hooters Air as a novelty idea that would not give established carriers such Delta Air Lines, which operates on the same route, anything to worry about.
“I expect Hooters Air to bounce along until they go bust,” Harteveldt said. “They will never be a major factor in the scheduled market. It is proof that there is no shortage of stupid ideas in the airline business.”

I heard about it a couple of weeks ago. I actually saw some commercials this weekend. They have UGLY planes.

I think it's funny they fly out of gate 38D. HA!

 

[olena]

LOL! D Concourse! They've outdone their low-fare competition, Air-Tran, which dominates C Concourse....

I also agree with the Henry Harteveldt quote previously mentioned.
At least you guys have come up with some pretty good one-liners!
