Better than a strike: Spanish cabin crew give BA a lesson in gaining public sympathy



Now that's how you grab the public's attention.

Never mind going on strike and disrupting everyone's travel plans, these air crew workers have stripped off to highlight their cause.

Attention-grabbing: Cabin crew workers have posed naked to publicise their cause

Flight attendants working for the now-defunct Spanish Air Comet say they were not paid for up to nine months before the airline was grounded in December and claim they are still waiting for a pay-off.

So nine female flight attendants stripped off to pose provocatively for an aircraft-themed calendar.

Ready for take-off: The nude images have been picked up by the Spanish national media

Their nude images - taken in cabins, the cockpit and even on the top of a jet turbine - have certainly caught the public's attention as they have been featured in numerous Spanish newspapers.

Attendant turned model Adriana Ricardo said: 'We are just demanding our rights to receive what is ours, we each have eight or nine months of unpaid salaries.'

Service with a smile: The calendar is certainly a better way to gain public sympathy than industrial action

The company is said to owe around 160million euros in total with a reported seven million owed in wages to its workers.

Crew members hope the calendar will raise some money as well as put pressure on Air Comet to find a solution.
