Unfortunately, not looking very good for the folks at Hooters Air. I thought sex sells everything.

Better profit margins and less capital required to sell greasy chicken wings and beer. Hooters got involved mostly for marketing purposes but they probably didn't realize how much money they could lose. Hopefully Pace will find some flying to replace Hooters if things go sour. Anyone know what percentage of Pace's flying is performed for Hooters?

God that Bill Siebrt is so smart! Where did he come up with the idea that Hooters is on the ropes due to LCC competition and fuel coasts? Please, I hope he doesn't get paid for all of his wisdom.

Another failed Airline Exec. I'm guessing?

It's a shame to see them go bust.

Hooters Air was stupid idea, similar to Song. Some schmuck in marketing came up with a lame brain idea and the Board bought off on it. Let them all fall in the flames.

Dude, what are you talking about, Hooters was a sweet idea, probably the best ever. Big breasted women in skimpy outfits serving you chicken wings and beer, while you are flying to las vegas? I don't think you can beat that.

The idiots should have talked to Donald Trump. When he owned the Trump Shuttle in the early 90's he almost sheit his pants when he had to lay out $350,000 a pop to outfit the 727's in the shuttle fleet with TCAS. These clowns don't have clue one as to what it takes to run an airline from an operational perspective nor the costs involved. Whats that old adage?
"How do you make a millin dollars in aviation?? Start off with 2 million!!"

Hooters is shutting down. Lost a lot of 737 pilots earlier this year. Pace is still running VE, sports jet and some Thomas cook contracts in ths 757. Hooters 757 and all the 737-300's went bye bye earlier this month. Does not look good for 757 or 737. Thomas Cook jets leave soon. More jobless pilots to come unless buyer or contracts come up. It is a shame that the only Etops 757 was turned in. At this point if a contract comes up,there is no plane to use on it. Looks like the hooters just got smaller.
