Cosmetics firm recruits laidoff American workers for sales, 07/20/2003,
By DAWN WOTAPKA / The Dallas Morning News
"Furloughed American Airlines flight attendants," the ad reads,
"BeautiControl salutes you!"
The halfpage newspaper advertisement invites the laidoff workers to
join the local directselling cosmetic company's sales force.
"We thought certainly that addressing the American Airlines flight
attendants is a perfect audience," said JoAnne Jaeger, the Carrollton
company's senior vice president of marketing.
The $9,000 ad – funded by BeautiControl and run without American
Airlines' knowledge – appeared Wednesday in The Dallas Morning News and
generated fewer than 100 calls.
