Ad came on TV just as was reading thread!
Watched it to double check if my initial reaction still held.
It does - ad is sexist - deffo in my view.
Also had a quick google to check if my initial impression that most of the air hostesses were blonde was correct ot not. It wasn't but the agency who made the ad reckon that
"As the music kicks in, the airline?s glamorous hostesses stride through the airport dressed in red high heels and red uniform to jaw-dropping gazes.
One passenger is heard saying: I need to change my job as his colleague replies: I need to change my ticket."
The ad closes on a shot of the Flying Lady, painted on the side of the Virgin Atlantic 747 plane, who winks at the camera before the endline: "Still red hot."
Yuck. Deffo sexist badgermonkey - I'm with you even if we are in the minority
