U.S. Airways lands in PR hell with airplane in vagina photo on Twitter
U.S. Airways has some probing to do after someone handling the airline's Twitter account posted a photo that shocked many of its followers.
We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We’ve removed the tweet and are investigating.
— US Airways (@USAirways) April 14, 2014The company quickly deleted the photo (depicting a toy airplane in woman's vagina), which was tweeted in response to a disgruntled customer, but not before it was screenshotted and the airline began trending for reasons that certainly aren't appreciated by its PR team.
I don't get the big deal behind #usairways today. If you've seen one model airplane in a vagina you've seen them all. ✈️

Apparently there is quite the gender gap at #USAirways

You know if it were #VirginAmerica, she would have just been cuddling with that plane. #usairways

Not everyday you get to use the word "vagina" in a headline. US Airlines should hire that girl as a stewardess, bet it would be great for business.
