Ryanair seeks female crew to strip down for calendar - SEE GALLERY
Irish Central ^ | July 29th 2010 | JAMES O'BRIEN

Irish airline Ryanair is on a Europe-wide search for sexy female cabin crew to strip down for its 2011 calendar.

Despite complaints from women’s groups across Europe, the airline is determined to line up female cabin crew members to pose semi-naked for the calendar.

A Ryanair spokesperson said that despite women’s groups criticism of the calendar idea, a recent poll indicated female staff as the popular choice.

"Overwhelmingly people still want female cabin crews,” he said.

"We wanted sexy passengers to be in it but they said no they wanted cabin crew 50,000 passengers voted and said they wanted it to be female.

"We've come in for some criticism in the past from some women's groups so we decided to let passengers tell us what they want."

The spokesperson said that fewer Irish girls apply to take part in the calendar than other nationalities, and there are no guarantees that an Irish girl will make the cut.

All proceeds go for charity. Last year’s calendar raised $130,000.

Ryanair’s biggest competition is the Irish Fire Brigade calendar, which sold 20,000 copies in 2009 making it the most popular calendar in the world.

“”We've come in for some criticism in the past from some women's groups so we decided to let passengers tell us what they want.”

Bigger seats and cheaper fares would be a start, and let the passengers find their own pin-up calenders.

I think that it is sad, and indeed shameful, that a business would use sexually degradation of womanhood as an economic lever to attract moronic patronage.

I agree with you. Besides, flying on Ryanair is a step down from traveling in a box car. All of these economy airlines also have very strict luggage restrictions (e.g. ‘if you want to bring your liver that will be an extra $50).

The women want to appear in these calendars, lighten up!
With a handle like J. Edgar your own perferences are suspect anyway.

"J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI chief, and his longtime companion, Clyde Tolson, were an ambiguously gay crime-fighting duo. Inseparable for 44 years, 1928-1972, the two top G-men vacationed together, often dressed similarly and continue their cohabitation even after death. They're buried alongside one another."

Need I say more?

Yeah, what has that to do with me? My handle denotes my birth name, and coincidentally denotes the Anti Commie aspect of J Edgar Hoover's FBI.

I am not a Hoover ‘groupie’. He was a Mason, anti-Catholic, probably a bigger fraud than we know, probably involved in JFK, RFK, and Malcolm X assassinations, was well as other nefarious activities!

I think Spain's Air Comet calendar was first out of the chute, so to speak.

Don't jump on me. I didn't name you and I didn't pick your handle. The baggage comes with the public perception of the name regardless of what you say.

Lighten up. I see no problem with it.
When I was living in Slovakia, they had an airline, Sky Europe”.
It was a low cost shortline airline just like Ryanair, but went belly up.
Maybe if they had run some promos like Ryan, they might still be flying.
Degradation is only when the woman does not agree.
