If you wanted to experience the ambiance of a 1985-era sports bar in the sky, you’ve missed your chance. Hooters Air is shutting down.
The Hooters Air experiment, the epitome of classy travel from the get-go, has seemed like it was on the brink for some time. They cancelled flights abruptly around the holidays, they didn’t pay their fuel bills, and they were even taken to court over their very business idea. In June 2005, three former Southern Illinois University students sued Hooters, claiming the company had stolen their idea for an airline. At this point, maybe Hooters should be suing those guys instead.
Nonetheless, I’m sure we’ll all miss the jokes and puns that write themselves with a subject like this one… “leaving the mile high club”… “going bust”… etc. etc.
