Tatiana Kozlenko, a flight attendant with Russian airline Aeroflot, had put the pictures up on Vkontakte, a Russian social network site similar to Facebook.

The photo garnered dozens of likes within hours of being posted.

From Vkontakte, the photo was posted to Twitter, where it was re-tweeted by hundreds of people.

Unfortunately for Ms Kozlenko, Aeroflot bosses quickly came across the photo and called her in for a meeting.

Fittingly, Aeroflot chose to announce her sacking on their Twitter account, saying: “Posting this photo shows Tatiana’s attitude towards passengers and her duties. She acknowledged her fault when she spoke to her managers.”
