AirTran politely asks passengers not to watch porn

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Now that AirTran (along with Delta, and several other airlines) offers in-flight Wi-Fi, the Atlanta-based carrier features an exceedingly gentle and roundabout reminder on its web site asking passengers not to watch porn on crowded airplanes.

The reminder appears on AirTran’s Internetiquette page, a primer on overal in-flight Wi-Fi politeness.

Movie and TV buffs might appreciate the site’s mock PSA videos. They feature actor Peter Graves reviving his memorable deadpan comedic role Captain Clarence Oveur, pilot of the doomed airliner in the 1980 disaster comedy Airplane!

Here’s Graves in one of Airplane!’s best and most frequently quoted scenes:

98X

According to the Twitters, 99X is going back on the air tomorrow at 9:09 A.M.

The new 99X will air on 97.9 FM because its old spot on the FM dial, 99.7, was taken over by Q100 in 2008. This explains the station’s new slogan “Less hertz. No Berts.”
