Former flight attendants for defunct Spanish airline Air Comet say they’re owed around \u20ac7 million (about $9.5 million) in unpaid wages. So as a combination fundraiser\/PR stunt, the women decided to re-enact every ’80s party movie and release a racy calendar.<\/p>\n

The calendar, which retails for around $20, shows the ladies of Comet Air in various states of undress, posing near and occasionally draped on airplanes.<\/p>\n

“We are just demanding our rights to receive what is ours, we each have eight or nine months of unpaid salaries,” former Comet Air attendant Adriana Ricardo told Reuters.<\/p>\n

While the calendars have gotten the unpaid attendants a heaping helping of PR exposure, it’s unlikely that it will do anything to get any more money from Comet, which collapsed in December when 9 of its planes were impounded. The erstwhile airline reportedly owes over $200 million to creditors, so the attendants had better pray these calendars go through several printings.<\/p>\n
