14th November Sexy Ryanair awards?
Bear Behind
In fact for those who won't be flying Ryanair in the near term (ummm - that doesn't sound how I meant it - it's only that I don't have planned flights with them, not that I'm in a strop about them) and still wishing to support the charity (or just get girlie a calendar...), the calendar can also be purchased online (from ryanaircalendar.com).

Your thoughts on the Ryanair Calendar
I am guessing much has been said about the Ryanair Calendar already. But, I wondered what cabin crew members think about this themselves. Is it a good way to help a charity and/or to bring your employer in the news. Or, is it a disgrace to your profession? Also, to people working at Ryanair, how was the response by SLF?
As for my thoughts, I myself am a happy owner of the calendar. I needed a calendar, and being an aerospace engineering student, a calendar with both aircraft and good looking women is just what i wanted. Helping a good cause at the same time, even better!
And I have to say that I I would not mind meeting misses January when flying from weeze airport.

There's no way I'd be letting MY daughter be in it.
From a crew perspective, I think it's demeaning and does nothing for the profession. If they were everyday crew, not just a selected few - and in uniform - then I would think a little differently.
Of course, this is my opinion but I doubt if a unionised airline would be allowed to do such a thing.

well said tightslot 
Having said that, man I wish I looked like those girls. People have to realise that cabin crew are normal people, and we come in all shapes and sizes. It shouldnt be about what you look like, but what you are like as a person. I bet this calender will sell like hot cakes.

I just wish they would have done it in a more classy way.
I agree with tightslot in many ways but sooner or later something like this was going to happen....and I bet it won't be the last one either!
But the standard of it....it's just cheap and nasty, no surprise the girls aren't necessarily happy with the pictures (Although, how often have you heard a girl say: 'I really like that picture of me.'?!). I know I wouldn't be.
As for the message: 'Fly with us, she might shag you!'....I rather have the people who respond to this kind of message on a Ryanair aircraft than on one of ours anyway...but saying that, I don't understand why anybody would fly with them, or work for them (I do up to a point in case of the Eastern Europeans), promised shag or not, but that's just me...

Dolly...
Overall i understand where you're coming from.... But!! :
"I don't understand why anybody would fly with them, or work for them (I do up to a point in case of the Eastern Europeans), promised shag or not, but that's just me..." is a bit confusing.
You see, for an Eatern European, English is not his/hers native language. This morning a friend of mine (who happens to be Polish) was raging at your post. What she understood reading your post, was that if she's from Eastern Europe, and on top works for Ryanair, she's being looked at and thought of being a slag and she was basically feeling like a piece of
you just stepped in. Just because by the time we had our 10th kettle and maybe, just maybe, they were still boiling water in an old pan for their tea, doesn't mean that they are less human then us. They were just born in a different country, with a different culture, economy and so on.
And here was I thinking that race, culture, where you're coming from wasn't suppose to be an issue on this site... But then again, that's just me.

PS: I've done maybe the same mistake as you, saying not very nice things about a certain nationality pax, been told off, learned my lesson... Hence i know what i'm talking about.

Hmmm....
I don't see that there a suggestion has been made that Eastern Europeans subscribe to moral standards that are in some way different, or lower than in the UK - In fact, you could make a case for the reverse being true: For example, Poland has a strong religious tradition that is much more dominant than in the UK.
It is true to say, however, that joining the EU has proved a bonanza for many of those Eastern European citizens that are prepared to endure the hardship of moving to other EU countries in the search for higher paid work - a fact that Ryanair (and other airlines) are happy to exploit. That's capitalism in action, and that's Life!!!
Some of those contributing to the Ryanair calendar are not even slightly Eastern European. I have an issue with the individual Cabin Crew involved, and with the airline, but not with any nationality. If Mods see anything on this (or other) threads that is racist, or attacking people in some other general way, it would be deleted.
