"I may be cheap, but I still care...."


With airlines suffering most of all in the current economic climate, it is very good to see cabin crew staff at Ryanair "stripping off" for a 2010 charity calender in aid of the charity “KIDS” which provides support to disabled children and their families across Britain....

Last year Labour MEP Mary Honeyball accused Ryanair of “sexualising” the airline industry.
“Ryanair has again done the dirty in a desperate bid for profits and pimped out its “sexiest” airline stewards in a “bare all” calendar,” she said. “Such derisory marketing will surely deter more serious candidates interested in a career in airline services and bring the entire airline service industry career into disrepute as a result....”

But we at GTI disagree with Madam Honeyball as we feel that airlines have often looked at the sexiness of it's cabin crew to sell seats (look at the recent advertisement for Virgin Atlantic, or previous from many, many others) as the calender looks set to make upwards of £100,000 for this worthwhile charity...

The calendars will be sold on-board Ryanair flights and on its website (http://www.ryanair.com/) for €10 (£9). ..
