Six former <strong>Mexicana flight attendants<\/strong> wanted to hold on to theirs so badly that they decided to take off their clothes for a cheeky calendar as they were not taking off on any flights anymore. They pulled some $8000 of their personal funds together and organised a <strong>photo shoot<\/strong> to create a <strong>calendar<\/strong> of themselves striking sexy poses and making pouty faces in front of real airplanes at some nondescript airport. (I hope this didn\u2019t cause any crashes at said nondescript airport)<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re not the<a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/ryanair-polls-passengers-about-content-for-2011-calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\"> first airline <strong>stewardesses<\/strong> to be photographed naked<\/a>. Their colleagues at <strong>Ryanair<\/strong> do this every year, but the &#8216;<strong>aeromozas<\/strong>&#8216;, as the flight attendants are called in Mexico, are the first to bare all to save their company.\u00a0 The ladies were hoping this would raise some cash to help the <strong>Mexican airline<\/strong> that went bankrupt in August 2010 get back on its feet. Apparently this worked and the <strong>calendars<\/strong> are selling like hotcakes. The first 1000 were sold out in in no time and a new batch will be available shortly. However at only $12 each they need to sell a heck of a lot of calendars to cover the airline\u2019s $ 800 million debt. But even if their <strong>photo shoot<\/strong> will not raise enough cash to save the company, it could possibly raise some interest from possible investors who can\u2019t wait to be served their next inflight meal by one of the \u2018models\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Now I can honestly say that I am dedicated to my job and like to show my employer how much I like doing what I do. But I think I will stick to showing him my sales numbers and stats instead of my birthday suit. Especially now that it turns out that <strong>Mexicana<\/strong> may start operations again and will re-hire some of their ex flight attendants. \u00a0Just not the sassy six. According to the airline they showed just a tat too much, er\u2026 dedication as they\u2019d liked. But I\u2019m sure that because of this calendar they don\u2019t need to worry and will be looking at a flying career in the nude magazine business. How\u2019s that for a career change?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How far would you go to save your job?
