Girlies for a good cause
An Irish airline creates controversy with a cheesy calendar featuring stewardesses. Can't it be more imaginative than that?
Carol Lloyd [2007-12-13]

  • The pictures...

    You can see the pictures on the Web site Daily Mail of November 16th, or via Google. (Funny how so many Broadsheet stories come from that source.)

    They are a lot of fun. The girls have great smiles, and I particularly like the one of Miss January posing in the c*ckpit of an aircraft and Miss July demonstrating how to hold a large wrench when bent backwards over an aircraft wheel.

    I would certainly feel very happy and safe to be in the hands of these professionals, whether in the cockpit or performing routine maintenance tasks.

    Typically Broadsheet fails to mention that proceeds from the calendar are going to a children's charity called Angels Quest.

    Mission statement:

    Angels Quest seeks the provision of purpose designed respite care facilities for children and young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. A welcoming, reliable home-from-home which gives families a much needed break, with peace of mind, from the continuous demands of caring at home for their 'angel’ with special needs.

    So female Ryanair employees are doing something for disabled children.

    Shame on them.
