US Airways, the airline that responded to a customer’s complaint on twitter by sending out a photo of a plane in a woman’s vagina, have explained what happened.
It was a mistake, you guys. (That much was obvious, no?)
According to the New York Daily News:
“It was an honest mistake. It was in an attempt to flag the tweet as inappropriate,” said spokesman Matt Miller after the photo was allegedly first posted on their wall by an undisclosed Twitter user.
“We captured it, flagged it as inappropriate,” he said. When the airline then went to reply to customers, however, “unfortunately, the image was inadvertently included,” said Miller.
So, basically, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Apparently the employee who tweeted the photo in question will not be fired.
