Muslim flight attendant sues over serving alcohol on flights

stupid bitch


MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- A Muslim flight attendant for ExpressJet says she was wrongly suspended from her job last month because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers, citing her religious beliefs.

Charee Stanley, a Detroit-based flight attendant for ExpressJet, filed a discrimination complaint Tuesday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The airline had agreed to give Stanley a religious accommodation, saying she could work out an arrangement with the other flight attendant on duty so they could serve alcohol instead. She was suspended only after a colleague complained, said Lena Masri, an attorney with the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Stanley, 40, has worked for the Atlanta-based airline for nearly three years and during that time converted to Islam, Masri said. Stanley approached a supervisor in June after learning that her faith forbids not just consuming alcohol but also serving it.

When the co-worker complained, Stanley was put on unpaid leave for a year, Masri said.

"She was placed on unpaid leave for following the instructions that ExpressJet airlines gave her," Masri said.

Masri claimed the complaint against Stanley was discriminatory, with the employee noting Stanley carried a book with "foreign writings" and wore a head scarf.

A spokeswoman for ExpressJet said in an emailed statement that the airline values diversity but could not comment on specific personnel matters.

"At ExpressJet, we embrace and respect the values of all of our team members. We are an equal opportunity employer with a long history of diversity in our workforce," the statement said.

ExpressJet has 9,000 employees, 388 planes and averages 2,200 flights each day, according to the company's website.

"Stanley, 40, has worked for the Atlanta-based airline for nearly three years and during that time converted to Islam, Masri said. Stanley approached a supervisor in June after learning that her faith forbids not just consuming alcohol but also serving it."

So, she was Ok with everything, when they originally hired her ?

Put her on one way flight to Saudi Arabia and Happy Kwanzaa to all of us!

If your job is to serve booze and your religion does not allow this, well then, you need to get another job. You cannot be an airline stewardess and not serve booze.

No worries. Giver her a transfer into baggage handling. Problem solved.

She is black so this would be racial discrimination.
You can't miss. She should become lesbian too to complete the circle.

So......

She has no grounds. Find another job.

This is like that county clerk refusing to issue a gay marriage license. Find another job dummy.

[j3rkules]

You knew you were going to be serving drinks when you applied for the job.

Case dismissed.

I hope I live to see the day when we stop giving special treatment based on religion and religious churches and "non profits" have to pay taxes like everyone else.

The airline made a mistake of giving her a pass on serving booze in the first place.

I hope I live to see religion gone and replace by logical critical thinking and knowledge gained through science and reason instead of fairy tales passed down by primitive people to explain things they had no concept of.

Back then their ignorance can be forgiven but today they are just stupid fools.

When you cannot do the job -- move on ...

All Muslims are taking up opportunity to use this religious threat against companies saying they're against their religion.

Do these people not realizing some clothing like the head scarfs can effect their job or even their life. Machine ops are not allowed to wear loose clothing or jewelry for safety, same with police & security, fire & many other jobs & careers

And yesterday a group of men wearing mini skirts, push up bras and high heels went into the woman's public bathroom and forgot to put the seats down.

A world run by millennials is a horrific thought.
