Ryanair Employees Take off their Clothes for Charity
Dave BondIt now seems that the well known low cost airline, Ryanair, will be launching a new 2010 charity calendar. In this calender people can see pictures of Ryanair’s cabin crew staff as models. The hope is that these female cabin crew members will be able to raise £100,000 for the charity called KIDS, which provides support to disabled children and their families across Britain.
This is now the third year that Ryanair has published this kind off calender. The airline does donate all of the proceeds from the calender to charity. Just last year, Labour MEP Mary Honeyball accused Ryanair of trying to sexualize the airline industry.
She said that Ryanair has again done the dirty in a desperate attempt for profits and pimped out its sexiest airline stewards in a bare all calendar. Such marketing will surely deter more serious candidates interested in a career in airline services. It will bring the entire airline service industry career into disrepute as a result.
The airline’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary, confirmed that he has already bought the first 100 copies of the 2010 calendar and sent them to Ms Honeyball, labeling it to “anti fun.” A spokesman for Ryanair said that more than 800 of the airline’s 4,000 cabin crew applied to be in the calender. The calendars will be sold on board Ryanair flights and on their website for €10.
Just earlier this year the cabin crew and chief executive of Air New Zealand also stripped down for an advert that promoted their airline. Rob Fyfe and seven of his sexiest and bravest airline staff carried out their duties on an aircraft wearing nothing but body paint.
