Irish airline Ryanair is on a Europe-wide search for sexy female cabin crew to strip down for its 2011 calendar.
Despite complaints from womens 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 womens 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 years calendar raised $130,000.
Ryanairs biggest competition is the Irish Fire Brigade calendar, which sold 20,000 copies in 2009 making it the most popular calendar in the world.

Lovely ladies of Ryanair
Ryanairs biggest competition is the Irish Fire Brigade calendar, which sold 20,000 copies in 2009 making it the most popular calendar in the world???????
Bigger seats and cheaper fares would be a start, and let the passengers find their own pin-up calenders.
Now you are being practical :)
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.
“(e.g. if you want to bring your liver that will be an extra $50).”
LOL
Thanks for the warning!
which reminds me....meet some friends at Hooters today for lunch...
“With a handle like J. Edgar your own perferences are suspect anyway.”
???? care to elaborate? I suspect you will reveal more about yourself than me!
Totally, dude.
You acknowledge, I observe without prejudice!
Need I say more?
that sounds very Ghey....
thanks for the pics :)
Air VS. Fire?
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!
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.
“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.”
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.
