Flight attendants from Mexicana airlines, which filed for bankruptcy in August and suspended operations, launched a sultry calendar Thursday in a bid to call attention to their own plight, according to the Associated Press.
The 2011 calendar features glossy shots of the flight attendants, clad only in bikinis and aviation shades or abbreviated uniforms, draped over propellers and striking racy poses in the cockpit, the report says.
“It occurred to me because we all needed money, and I thought that with so many pretty girls (among Mexicana’s staff) there were bound to be some who’d be interested,” Coral Perez, a Mexicana veteran who came up with the idea, told the AP.
Each of the 10 “aeromozas” — or flight attendants in Spanish — who ended up posing contributed money from her own pockets to help cover the production costs of about $8,000.
The first run of 1,000 was sold out before Thursday’s launch. A second edition of 3,000 calendars — which retail for about $12, apiece — is in the works.
