We aren’t going to link to it, but the official US Airways Twitter account posted an image on Monday which was very graphic and very NSFW. It included a naked woman with a model airplane ‘entering her.’ I repeat, we are DEFINITELY going to link to it. We are, however, a big fan of jokes and puns so we collected some of the best from Twitter following the social media incident. Enjoy!
First and foremost here is the apology from US Airways:
We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We’ve removed the tweet and are investigating.

Here we go…
Surprised the offending @USAirways tweet was up for so long. Even their reaction time gets delayed.

.@USAirways, we take these tweets very seriously. Your IP address and details will be forwarded to security and the FBI.

Just be thankful it wasn't a model of the 787 Dreamliner.

Seems @USAirways finally deleted those tweets. Here’s a completely safe for work re-enactment. I promise, it’s safe. pic.twitter.com/4gc6HUewcr

When flying US Airways, you may wish to request a seat in the "non-stroking" section.

Charging $60 to check 2 bags is still the grossest thing US Airways has done.

@USAirways where’d y’all find that picture anyway?

That photo was gross, but it looks more comfortable than a typical @USAirways coach seat.

Looking into this US Airways twitter scandal was one of the poorer decisions I made today.

Well that explains my $14.95 surcharge for “in-flight cinema” on the US Airways ticket I just booked.

“US Airways tweeted what?? Surely you can’t be serious!”
“Of course I’m serious and……”
