Mexican Air Strip
Female flight attendants from the Mexican airline Mexicana have posed for a racy 2011 calendar to try to recoup money they and their colleagues lost after the company folded in the summer (see my September 2nd post.)
The flight attendants are pictured next to planes on a runway in bikinis and other skimpy outfits. “We’re not models, we don’t have perfect bodies, but we want to keep [the company] going,” said Rozy Arcos, one of the stewardesses who presented the calendar.
One thousand were produced, but a second print run of 3,000 is already planned after the move prompted media excitement.
After becoming heavily in debt, Mexicana – one of the world’s oldest airlines – suspended all flights in August and a judge granted it bankruptcy protection shortly afterwards. There’s been a suggestion that a restructuring proposal might allow it to resume some flights ‘by mid-December’.
