Hmmm if one doesn't want to be critiqued, perhaps making oneself the face of an ad campaign isn't the best strategy? Some awfully thin skins out today, speaking of whiny b$tches.

I don't get the sense that anyone takes issue with the individual per se. Simply the editorial choice to link a flight deck position with something vacuous like fashion and The Ellen Show is a bit of an odd direction to go. It does do a disservice to the other female pilots who I found to have a great deal more substance than that portrayed. Misogyny? That's hilarious. The ad itself is sexist, not the criticism of it.

Still, it's not like they can honestly sell an EK job on it's great roster or loads of time off so I guess they had to find some angle.
