Spanish babes strip for wages | The Sun |News
AIR stewardesses grounded by a British judge have stripped off for a saucy calendar in a bid to get back missing wages.
Spanish-based budget airline Air Comet went bust last December after the High Court in London ordered the company to stop using its planes and selling tickets.
Stewardesses employed by the firm decided on their naked protest after failing to get up to eight months of unpaid salaries.
More than 1,000 calendars featuring nine women in their flight caps, gloves and high heels have gone on sale for £13.
Adriana Ricardo, who poses as Miss August on an aircraft engine in high heels and a tiny bikini, said: "I think it's a different and very elegant way of highlighting our plight.
"The rest of our colleagues are completely behind us."
Air Comet operated long-haul services from Madrid to 13 destinations in central and south America as well as services in Europe.
The High Court was asked to intervene by a bank which had sued the airline for not meeting the terms of payment for its leased aircraft.
Thousands of travellers were left stranded after Air Comet subsequently filed for protection from creditors.
The Ecuadorian government and several Spanish consumer groups are planning legal action against the company for fraud.
