Cebu Pacific

15 Oct 2010 - Philippines budget airline Cebu Pacific flew a second regular flight with dancing cabin crew this week. This time they used men instead of women after criticism that the original stunt was sexist. The original dance, videotaped by a passenger, became a YouTube sensation a week ago, with a safety demonstration using female cabin staff gyrating to Lady Gaga. The objective was to let passengers pay attention to the security briefing, as most passengers take the information for granted or doze off. Passengers seemed to enjoy the new vibe - and they paid attention. But several Philippines legislators and the union for the country's flag carrier Philippines Airlines said it was demeaning to women. Cebu Pacific has now shown that men can dance too.
