Philippine carrier adds second dancing crew flight

Budget Philippine carrier Cebu Pacific on Friday flew a second regular flight with dancing cabin crew, using male stewards instead of female after criticism the original stunt was sexist.
The airline had created a YouTube sensation, as well as a storm of criticism earlier this week with an in-flight safety demonstration using pretty young female cabin attendants toe-tapping to a Lady Gaga tune.
Mother-of-two Carol Ignacio, a passenger on the morning flight to Davao city, whipped out a video camera as three male flight attendants pranced along the aisles to the new-wave group Men Without Hats' 1980s hit "Safety Dance".
"It was okay, they managed to stop me nodding off," Ignacio told AFP.
"I will show it to my kids," she added.
After the plane reached cruising altitude, the young male staff showed their dance moves while giving instructions about oxygen masks, lifejackets and how to find the exits.
The women crew's dance, filmed by a passenger earlier in the week, had more than seven million hits on YouTube by Friday.
