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.

“I agree with you. Besides, flying on Ryanair is a step down from traveling in a box car.”

And just how else would you fly into Bratislava, or many other small cities?
Maybe you prefer all day, all night train trips in Europe.

You’re right, but I still can’t stand flying that airline.

“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?

Yes: You can say they kept it to themselves, did not push their fag agenda on the public , and that no one had the balls to say what you just did while they were alive.

Especially not the "They're buried alongside one another" part. ;-P

Personally, I don't give a rats a*s what J. Edgar did in his private life and I'm glad he didn't make a big deal out of it while he was alive. It just struck me as funny (ironic) that someone with the handle J. Edgar would criticize women for volunteering to appear scantily in a promotional calendar. I'm sure our J. Edgar on FR is a wonderful guy in reality and I shouldn't have mentioned this at all. Sorry J. Edgar.

I happen to know someone who worked directly for Hoover and from what he has told me, he was nothing like how he has been portrayed over the years. For one thing, he never went by J. Edgar Hoover. A total press fabrication of his name. He just went by John.

He was definitely not gay and had a great sense of humor. The last thing he told me that was interesting was that this great dosseir he had on everyone did not exist. Many thought it existed and he allowed that rumor to go unchecked because he wanted them to think he was all powerful.

"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."

You're right, they should just adorn their calendar with pictures of their airplanes and different airports they go to. That ought to be a big seller. [/sarcasm]

If a woman voluntarily wants to be photographed fully or partially naked that is up to them. It's a big difference between that and forced prostitution.

"Coffee, Tea, or Me?"

Only problem with that is there's no where to go. Bathrooms on airplanes are too small. They are barely big enough to go to the bathroom in... : )

Naked ladies are such a teaser.
Ask them if they are teasing about their safety and service, too.
