It was shaping up to be the best PR activity and they loved it
Any airline which employs women or ethnic minorities pushes them to the front when TV cameras are involved. British Airways had a black female engineer doing the turnaround on a B787, QF show women doing delivery flights. Best of all is a black female Captain with a white male F/O, it's even better than a black female F/O as it shows a shift in the power balance.
We have some very attractive young ladies flying for us, who seem to feature quite heavily in any publicity released by the airline.
