A group of Spanish trolley dollies who were grounded when their employer Air Comet went titsup last December have pressed their claim for outstanding wages by getting their kit off for a calendar, Spanish media report.

    If only this story were true...By the way, I'd pay to make sure BA, Easyjet, BMI Ryanair et al's, cabin staff kept there kit on... have you seen the state of most of them?

      and

      I can say the same for Air Canada, Easyjet, Air Transat and Delta.

    "Air Comet went titsup..."

    The second photo supports that, although the first would seem to indicate that there's a bit of titsforward in there too.

    How come I never get fly on airlines that have top totty like that as cabin crew? I always seem to fly "Air Dungeons and Dragons" judging by the plentiful supply of Gorgons and Battleaxes I encounter.

    female atentionseekers

    Why is it that most times when females want media atention they use nudety?

    Is this to show this is the only way they can think of instead of creative ways to focus atention on them?

    Do females really need to confirm again there are only usefull as decoration/ lust objects?

    Paris... speaks for itself.

      WTF?

      Lowest common denominator

      As long it works, why should they use any other method?

      This isn't a sign that they're no good for anything better, it's just a sign that we're too easily lead around, and I don't mean by our nose.

      This is almost guaranteed press coverage for minimal effort, and therefore is pretty much their best option. Sounds like they're doing a pretty intelligent job of it to me.

    Well that's not exactly investigative journalism is it! We need to support these poor ladies in their time of need. Although to be honest they seem to look quite good without any supports at all...

    I assume this all started 'cos they even had to hand their uniforms back.

    Must say I've never had a lot of time for Spain or their airlines but how could this firm have failed. Tired businessmen and very attractive staff. Ought to be an easy sell. Its the Lintilla Clone principal (HHGTTG).

    PS: Are those roundels in the second photo a new elReg product? Do they spin?

    I work for one of those you mentioned and while some might scare the paint off walls some are incredible. There are more than one of them high street honeys that work for the orange one.
