A Woman Created a Bikini Airline and Became Vietnam's First Female Billionaire

Submitted
Meet Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vietnam's first female self-made billionaire. Much of her net worth comes from her company VietJet Air, which on its website calls itself a "dynamic, innovative airline." But some might have other words for what it is her company is doing. Indeed, VietJet isn't known so much for its CEO as it is its bikinied flight attendants. It's a uniform Thao insists is empowering for women in such a conservative country. (www.yahoo.com) More...

And their male flight attendants wear what? Speedos? Well, at least the cabin temp will be set above "arctic".

If you didn't tell me that it was an airline's flight attendants I would have thought that it was some other kind of Business (LIMAO).

The double standard is repulsive.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if this were a man that became a billionaire by having bikini clad flight attendants he would be vilified if not crucified.... hence the double standard...

Double standards ! Depends.
In every civilised jurisdiction equals are treated equally and unequals unequally.
