PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – American Airlines and its flight attendant union are both reacting to a sexist skit posted online. The union says the video is demeaning to flight attendants and crew members.
The dance is burlesque-style and appears to show women dressed as American Airline flight attendants dancing to Shirley Bassey's song "Hey Big Spender" while a seated man portrays an executive platinum customer.
