Unpaid Spanish air hostesses strip off for saucy calendar in protest
By ANIThursday, April 1, 2010
LONDON - A group of flight attendants from now bankrupt Spanish airline Air Comet has stripped off for a saucy calendar in a bid to publicise their battle to recoup their lost wages.
The airline went bust last December after the High Court in London ordered the firm to stop using its planes and selling tickets, reports the Sun.
Air hostesses who worked for the company decided on their naked protest after failing to get up to eight months of unpaid salaries.
Over 1,000 calendars featuring nine women in their flight caps, gloves and high heels have gone on sale for 13 pounds.
Adriana Ricardo, who poses as Miss August on an aircraft engine in high heels and a tiny bikini, said: “I think it’s a different and very elegant way of highlighting our plight. The rest of our colleagues are completely behind us.” (ANI)
