Air New Zealand Pulls 'Sexist' Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Flight Safety Video

An in-flight Air New Zealand safety video, which had been branded sexist, has been replaced.

The film featured models dressed in bikinis demonstrating safety procedures with airline equipment.

Australian Natasha Young began a Change.org petition which called on the airline to stop using the video.

"This video completely disregards passengers who find it offensive," she said.

(continued, feminine jealousy....the greatest censor...)

This is why we can't have nice things.

Couldn't they just have made one with male fitness models for the rest of us?

She mentions who'll be offended but never once mentions men husbands might be on the flight for which this would be some pre-flight stress relief? and why not a few hunks too....imagine the chruch would complain even more? trdsf.

Airliners sell 'sex', especially in business class. Show me an advert that doesn't have a lot of attractive air hostesses looking after rich businessmen.

You can't be an air hostess if you are a bit overweight, apparently its 'safety' yeah right

I don't care about the sexism, but I found the bad acting offensive.

But so long as you're not forced to watch it, who cares?

Thete will be no fondling of breasts in airplanes ever again.
