Ryanair Tells FAs To Lose Weight For Fuel Savings

Using 'Girls Of Ryanair' Calendar As An Incentive To Slim Down

Check your calendar ... it's not April 1st. Ryanair has owned up to the fact that it is asking its female flight attendants to slim down as a way to reduce its fuel costs, and using the chance to appear in a "Girls of Ryanair" calendar as an incentive.

Ryanair says its all about the fuel, which is continuing to rise in price. Airline spokesman Stephen McNamara told the British newspaper The Independent that slimming down the FAs will result in "a significant reduction in weight," which translates in to fuel savings.

While female FAs are being told that losing weight will give them a chance to appear in its annual cheesecake calendar, there is no word on what incentive the male FAs are being offered to slim down.

Ryanair is also a strong proponent of asking heavier passengers to pay a higher fare ... a "fat tax" if you will ... for the privilege of flying on their aircraft.
