Maybe they didn't get the memo

With all that's been going on with the economy, foreclosure and unemployment. What the heck I wear on my JOB uniform, would be the least of my worries. I guess these folks didn't get the memo.

Spirit Air Staff Upset Over New Uniforms- Flight Attendants Say They're Being Turned Into 'Walking Billboards'

MIAMI (Jan. 28) — Flight attendants for Spirit Airlines are unhappy with a new uniform design that includes aprons displaying logos for alcoholic beverages.

The Association of Flight Attendants chapter at Spirit Airlines said Tuesday that the uniforms send the wrong signal to passengers and make it harder for flight attendants to enforce safety regulations. Deborah Crowley, president of Spirit's flight attendants union chapter, said in a statement that "turning flight attendants into walking billboards is unacceptable."

The union also said it found some of Spirit's advertisements to be sexist and demeaning.
In a statement provided to AOL, Spirit Air said that the onboard marketing program is key at a time where many airlines continue to trim capacity and cut jobs. The airline says the uniform ads:
* lower operating costs* allow the airline to continue offering low fares* keep employees employed * in no way interfere with the safety of passengers* in no way interfere with the ability of flight attendants to carry out their responsibilities
