Hooters Air: Tits Up
Hooters Air, the discount-flight division of the (in)famous restaurant chain, is canceling all its scheduled service. The airline's business had been sagging like Denny Hastert's man-tits for a year or so, pressured by rising fuel prices and an airline industry that president Bob Brooks characterized as "a terrible mess." The rest of Hooters of America is still busting out, however, with a new casino, branded credit card, and magazine: The company is set to open 80 new restaurants this year.
Sara Rimensnyder cheered the Hooters Air concept back when it was just an undercooked buffalo wing of an idea.
