A feast for the eyes!

An air hostess who posted a picture of herself giving her passengers the finger has been sacked by Aeroflot airline bosses in Russia after it ended up on Twitter.

Flight attendant Tatiana Kozlenko put the snap up on her personal page on Vkontakte, one of Russia’s most popular Facebook-style social networks.

Within hours the snap – which appears to show the arm of an air hostess giving the finger to an airplane cabin full of passengers – had clocked up dozens of ‘likes’.

But the image then went viral after it was posted on Twitter and re-tweeted by hundreds of users.

Aeroflot airline bosses soon found out about the photo and fired Ms Kozlenko.

Aeroflot – who announced the sacking on their Twitter account said:

Posting this photo shows Tatiana’s attitude towards passengers and her duties. She acknowledged her fault when she spoke to her managers.

But Ms Kozlenko claims it isn’t her arm in the snap – or even one of her her airline’s planes.

She admitted that she tagged herself in the photo, which doesn’t show anyone’s face – but claims it isn’t her.

I don’t consider myself guilty! The photo was added to my page, I only tagged myself on it!!! The hand isn’t mine, the plane is not my company’s!!! I don’t understand what they spoil my life for!!! I’m asking you for help and support!!’ she said on her Vkontakte page.
