US Airways apologizes for lewd photo sent via Twitter

US Airways posted a message on Twitter that contained a graphic image in response to a passenger Monday afternoon.

Twitter user Elle (@ElleRafter) tweeted at @USAirways about a flight delay.

US Airways responded with: “We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail it for review and follow-up.”

That tweet included a picture that showed a model airplane inappropriately positioned between a woman’s legs.

Parts of that Twitter image in the above photo have been blacked out.

You won't see the full image right away if you click on this link, but it gives you the option to click on a black box to see it. GRAPHIC, NSFW WARNING!

appropriately position itself between a woman's legs?
