Ryanair: le calendrier trop sexiste pour l’Espagne

Les années se suivent et se ressemblent pour le calendrier de la compagnie aérienne low cost Ryanair, dont les hôtesses fort peu vêtues ont cette fois encore déclenché des accusations de sexisme en Espagne.
Des associations de consommateurs de la province de Malaga ont rendez vous chez le juge le 30 avril 2013 avec la spécialiste irlandaise du vol pas cher, qu’elles accusent de publier des images illégales, offensives et exploitant l’image de la femme. Pas encore de réaction de Ryanair, mais on peut supposer qu’elle ressemblera aux précédentes : expliquer d’une part que la pratique est courante depuis des lustres dans le monde entier (y compris avec des pompiers ou des joueurs de rugby), et rappeler d’autre part que la fin justifie les moyens: lever des fonds pour une œuvre de charité.

When the pair of Portuguese flyers left Lisbon, they were confident of the voyage ahead.  Their aircraft, a single engine, open cockpit, Fairey IIID biplane on floats, was one of the Portuguese Navy's finest.  The date was March 30, 1922 — 91 years ago today in aviation history.  As the plane lifted off, the clock registered precisely 7:00 am GMT.  Ahead was the most daunting and difficult challenge yet flown in aviation history.  Their mission, supported by the Portuguese government and navy, was to fly across the equator and over the vast South Atlantic, stopping along the way at several island groups, to link Lisbon with faraway Brazil.  The flight involved over 5,200 miles of flying, much of it over water in an airplane that at best had a 1,500 mile maximum range.  There would be many stops along the way. The challenges of the flight would push the men and equipment to the limit and beyond.  Two aircraft would be lost and the men would take the third and last plane on its final flight into history — one way or another, the story of the Longest Flight would write the name of Gago Coutinho, the navigator, and his pilot, Sacadura Cabral, forever into history.

With 650 miles yet to go, the winds had not turned in their favor.  The two Portuguese aviators, Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho, computed that they had just 8.5 hours of fuel remaining, and they were still burning 20 gallons per hour.  To make it to the rocks called the Penedo de São Pedro, they would have to fly at an average ground speed of 80 mph, yet they were only at 72 mph.  Disaster loomed.  Yet to succeed meant more than their lives to them — it meant that their goal of proving that flying could be done for long distances over water without reference to land, would have failed.  And thus, the two Portuguese aviators continued on, unaware of the disaster that would soon result from their decision.
