I’ve not laughed at an episode of anything in a while. I would have brought both teams back.

Kurran was comedy gold. They should have sacked the ugly one because at least he’s good tv. So much composure in that boardroom despite being so shite [emoji38].

Am I the only one who thought Manage Air had a decent advert?
Kurran is obviously shit, but none of the bad ideas were his. Jetpop and an advert on the beach were both terrible ideas. 
The advert was entirely Kurran's doing. And he maintained it was good. Nutcase.

The uniform for the party brand is the most ridiculous thing I think I’ve ever seen. A professional fucking airline wearing that? Imagine if it was two guys who came up with that? They’d have got flung off the stage.

Was it though? That was the way it played out through the second half of the programme, but to me it was based pretty much on an earlier suggestion by another member of the team. I wasn’t paying much attention for a bit of the first half of it though, so could be wrong, but the beach advert theme I’m sure was suggested by someone else? 
You could be right. Funnily enough I missed the first ten minutes tonight. He strongly defended it in the boardroom and was in complete charge in the boardroom so I assumed it was completely 'his baby'.

No. I thought it was ok. It was on a plane for a start! I thought the criticism for Highway to Hell was OTT also. It was a play on the first part of the ad being about a Hellish flight. They should probably have had something smoother for the second part though.

I didnt like either concept to be honest. I dont see how you can guarantee a noise free flight. In fact away from obvious holiday destinations and stag/hen flights, which arent generally business destinations, in ny experience most flights are pretty quiet anyway. Its not really a usp. That said for all its flaws it was nowhere near as bad as the Party Flight!

I thought too much was made of the name. Was Jetpop really that bad? I dont associate "pop" with explosions and crashing. There were however three huge cockups with the campaign:

1 - That ad was not only awful, it had as much to do with an airline as I do lying on my couch right now. How Kuran continued to think it was great defies belief.

2 - Promoting partying and drinking in the air? Really? With so many air rage incidents around now? 

And 3 - That uniform !!! :blink: It was bordering on pornographic. If one if the guys had suggested skimpy outfits for stewardesses on a plane he would have been crucified for it. What on earth possessed them? Did they think about it for 10 seconds? Alcohol and half naked stewardesses in the air, thats definitely not asking for trouble, no! Jackie just about managed to carry it off because she is pretty flat chested. A bustier lady would have been indecent.

Kuran had to go. His management was awful, he was in cuckoo land. I felt a little sorry for Khadija and Daniel. He basically ignored all their ideas and did what he wanted. They were damned if they went along with it and danned if they didnt. Even Claude stood up for Khadija in the Boardroom. Camilla was a little fortunate but Jackie was the real bullet dodger. The uniform was mostly her and if she had been brought back in she might have gone too.

Shocker of an effort from them.

Both teams uniforms were ridiculous. But that doesn’t excuse Jetpop!

For me, Manage-air was as good as you’d expect. Just having a plainer uniform would’ve made it look even better in my eyes.

Jetpop was horrendous from the word go. Kurran was nothing but a bully throughout the episode and refused to listen to ideas.

That was just utter nonsense last night.  Really enjoyed it but that party airline idea has to be one of the worst ones yet.

Jet Pop is an utter shit name. The uniforms were a joke - I take it they wouldn't have any male flight attendants either? :lol: Advert was pish.  

Is that the last of the deadwood gone now?  Or do we still have a couple more who will go quickly?
