New Airline Policy Takes Flight to Reduce Costs

Looking for a new way to lower operating costs, We Care Air seems to have only lowered its standards.

When the airline announced earlier this year that it would start charging customers fees for food, luggage, movies and pillows, passengers reacted angrily.

We Care Air's latest cost cutting measure has critics bellowing that the airline should go ahead and change its name to Barely There Air.

In an attempt to further reduce expenses, We Care Air is no longer issuing standardized uniforms to its flight attendants. The airline is instead allowing its employees to report for duty in whatever attire they desire.

That means T-shirts are predominantly in and collared dress shirts and blouses are out.

"Passengers are subjected to all kinds to racy and raunchy T-shirts on board flights," said Andrew Mullins, editor of the Airline Industry Insider Magazine. "You feel like you're at a frat party minus, of course, the cheap beer and drunk coeds. And everyone knows it's a lame ass party without cheap beer and drunk coeds. You hear that We Care Air, you're lame."

Some passengers have taken that frat party atmosphere a little too far. Two weeks ago a Mississippi man en route to California was arrested after "accidentally" spilling alcohol on a female flight attendant clad in a tight T-shirt. The man later admitted he was hoping to start a wet T-shirt contest because he was bored and the airline wasn't showing a movie.

Despite all of the negative attention and criticism We Care Air has received recently, it's adamant about sticking to its new policy.

"We're trying to save money here," We Care Air President John Reed said. "We could have continued designing new uniforms for employees and passed along the costs to passengers. We didn't want to do that so we allowed our employees to wear T-shirts. The bottom line is passengers need to demonstrate better self-control on our planes. You just can't go pouring drinks down an employee's T-shirt no matter how decent her rack is."

Wendy O'Brien has been a flight attendant at We Care Air for seven years. She said she appreciates the freedom that comes from the company's new dress code policy. It's allowed her to communicate her beliefs and ideas she says many women are often discouraged from expressing within the industry.

"Do you know how many times I wanted to tell the captain to kiss my ass," O'Brien said. "I can do that now through a T-shirt. I can express my political beliefs or support any Presidential candidate I want. And if I want, I can even mix religion and politics. I wore a Jesus for President T-shirt last week. It said "You can vote for me or you can burn in hell." Now that's powerful. Who wants to burn in hell?"

We Care Air can only hope its profits don't go up in smoke. As a way to promote its business, it is now offering passengers a free T-shirt with every ticket purchased. Making fun of itself, the T-shirts read, "I took a flight on We Care Air and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. No food, no pillow, no movie, no problem."

Always in love with the camera, reporter Alexis Vain has been on the staff of tshirtalerts.com since its inception.

Vain's drop-dead gorgeous looks helped her land this gig. While she admits she has no reporting background or journalistic skills, she strongly believes any reporter can impress her audience by speaking haltingly and in dramatic tones.

Vain says her role model would include her twin sister if she had one. She wakes up every morning at 3 a.m. so she can run a brush through her hair about 1,000 times.

She says she would like to one day have children so she can pass on her good looks.
