I wonder if you could get away with a porn plane, there's probably a regulation against it.

Yuck, that is so horribly disgusting.

 

[Kinyou]

Who said anything about staring ?

Well if you talk about going to the beach solely for the reason to look at women in bikinis that's kind of the image I had in my mind.

 

[Staf]

I love capitalism.

 

[shintoki]

Love how capitalism now allows women to exploit other women for our own benefit. I've never felt this liberated before.

It does say they are free to wear what they want. Wouldn't it be sexism to basically say women should be restricted?

 

[Jenov]

Airplanes get freaking cold tho

 

[LakeEarth]

Are male pilots allowed? And if so, do they have to wear speedos?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I find it ironic the line between exploitative and empowering for some people has little to do nature of the work, and if it actually is exploiting its workers, and everything to do with what they consider respectable. It's pure projection of antiquated views

 

[Count Dookkake]

Airplanes get freaking cold tho

That's a perk.

 

[ISOM]

Thanks for telling me how I should feel about this as a woman, I would've been lost without your wisdom.

Ok, but the women working for this airline have their own wisdom as well. If they feel fine working for this airline then I don't see the problem.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Respect to her.

I guess... sex does still sell!

Quiet, or you'll summon that person.

 

[studyguy]

idk, flying is pretty shit regardless of where you go.

I mean unless they're booking first class style seats at the price of coach, some women in bikini's isn't going to make flying much better.

 

[Jenov]

That's a perk.

Mwaha

 

[Madness]

Remember sex doesn't sell...

/s

 

[Poppy]

That's a perk.

dang

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

Am I the only on that noticed the CEOs glasses are off kilter in that article?

 

[Mimosa97]

Well if you talk about going to the beach solely for the reason to look at women in bikinis that's kind of the image I had in my mind.

We've all had to learn how to look without staring/getting caught during our highschool days. If you can't be discreet about it then you're doing it on purpose.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

lol

 

[Enduin]

While kind of weird, as long as the company provides adequate protection/support and treats the women well and they are fairly compensated I've got no problems with this existing.

Issue with some of these kinds of businesses is that while they do offer better compensation than many others, which is their major allure to prospective employees, they don't always treat the employees well and exploit them a ton and can be rather abusive in a myriad of ways. So plenty of girls jump at the chance due to the money but then get chewed up by the actual work and everything that comes with it.

 

[gaiages]

It find it ironic the line between exploitative and empowering for some people has little to do nature of the work, and it actually is exploiting its workers, and everything to do with what they consider respectable. It's pure projection of antiquated views

Yep, pretty much. Can't really see the problem of them wearing a bikini if they want to.

 

[4 is a cutie]

Not exploit.

Empower.

Its weird how all of those similar-looking empowered women are made to smile and dance for their feminist ally audiences

The only place that rivals this in empowerment is Hooters

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I know what restaurant to make now.

 

[johancruijff]

that's one way to make someone interested in the pre flight safety demonstration

 

[Oersted]

Threadtitle made me think of somekind of revolutionary bra which I could gift my SO.

Disappointed.

 

[Forearm Star]

:Looks around:

Someone doesn't know their dreams have come true

 

[Moose Biscuits]

I know what restaurant to make now.

...Hooters?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

That was my first thought. If the CEO was som old pervy looking asian dude, the reactions wouldn't have been the same.

If you want to look at women wearing bikinis just go to the beach ?

Nobody is taking a flight on this airline just because there are women in bikinis.

If it costs the same and goes the same place I don't see a reason to not choose this airline.

Thanks for telling me how I should feel about this as a woman, I would've been lost without your wisdom.

Well it would be helpful if you actually knew what you were talking about instead of just making assumptions. Your opinion basically boils down to this:

It find it ironic the line between exploitative and empowering for some people has little to do nature of the work, and it actually is exploiting its workers, and everything to do with what they consider respectable. It's pure projection of antiquated views

You can feel however you want, but when you voice it, don't get mad when people think that what comes out of your mouth doesn't exactly make much sense.

 

[zoku88]

The headline of the source article is kind of weird. It makes it sound like she happened upon getting rich by means of this airline, instead of the fact that she's a founder and owns 95% of it.

 

[Angelus Errare]

A shame this concept wouldn't work in the US.

I'm honestly surprised that some state senator hasn't tried to pass a bill to limit what women can wear given how much we hear about holy men complaining about everything women wear.

 

[Dynomutt]

I'm surprised no one mentioned coffee shops?

 

[Numb]

Terrific

 

[Mendrox]

Genius idea. I want to use that airline now too. Maybe I will be able to with my trip to Vietnam. Also beautiful woman. Props to her and her work.

 

[Cels]

as quoted they can wear bikinis or ao dai which is a modest outfit

but i wonder how real the choice is if you are part of a crew of four stewardesses and the other three are wearing bikinis

 

[Netherscourge]

This plane will never land again.

In-air refueling even.

 

[meltingparappa]

I'm surprised no one mentioned coffee shops?

Probably too regionally isolated to the northwest for the average poster to mention.

 

[Mimosa97]

Nobody is taking a flight on this airline just because there are women in bikinis.

If it costs the same and goes the same place I don't see a reason to not choose this airline.

Why have women wearing bkinis then if the company would have achieved the same amount of success without it ?

 

[Vicetrailia]

Congrats to the first Vietnamese woman billionaire!

 

[nampad]

It was quite a brilliant marketing ploy but VietJet would probably have been successful anyway. The bikini thing only happened on the first flight and they got a fine for it.

Flying is the way to go for longer distance travel in Vietnam and VietJet has the best prices. I fly with then regularly. The flights are ok, just like Ryanair or other cheap airlines. I like both of their airline tunes 😂

My girlfriend mentioned that there are rumors about a mafia connection of the VietJet CEO.

"Made to"? It's a job.

 

[wesleyshark]

I'm honestly surprised that some state senator hasn't tried to pass a bill to limit what women can wear given how much we hear about holy men complaining about everything women wear.

Didn't a passenger recently get denied entering a United Airlines (correct me if I'm wrong) plane because she was wearing tights?

 

[Kinyou]

"Made to"? It's a job.

Have you never considered how that poor pilot is made to fly the plane?

 

[FallingEdge]

This plane will never land again.

Man this is beautiful too. Bikinis or an ao dai. One a bit more natural, more open and the other one a bit more traditional and classic beautiful.

I prefer the Ao Dai to be honest.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

...Hooters?

That isn't Asian or Asian food
But having men seems fair as well

 

[Skellig Gra]

Didn't a passenger recently get denied entering a United Airlines (correct me if I'm wrong) plane because she was wearing tights?

Only because she was technically an employee and they have a dress code. I've seen hundreds of people over the years wear pajamas on planes.

 

[Magus1234]

Yep, pretty much. Can't really see the problem of them wearing a bikini if they want to.

I guess, but you don't get the job if you don't. So it's not really about choice if they are looking to make money.

 

[PillarEN]

Pilot to co-pilot : "You're grabbing the wrong stick there"

 

[FrankCanada97]

She was connected to the company and given complimentary business class seats. They were enforcing a dress code for those associated with the company.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Sex doesnt sell tho, what is happening here?

 

[wesleyshark]

Only because she was technically an employee and they have a dress code. I've seen hundreds of people over the years wear pajamas on planes.

Thank you. Didn't see that she was also an employee on complimentary tickets.
