Muslim Flight Attendant Refuses to Serve Alcohol- Do Republicans support her?

79. It is most certainly UNREASONABLE if her co-workers say it is. And they have.

She can't work puddlejumper flights where there is only ONE FA--that means the non-Muslims will always get assigned those shitty, labor intensive flights, while she avoids that duty because 'Waaah, religion!'

If she's assigned to a flight where there are two FAs, then the FA has to do ALL the drinks service in the cabin, in the event that someone orders booze instead of a coke. This slows down the service and that is a real problem on short flights.

Basically, the accommodation is unreasonable because a big chunk of "her" job has to be done by someone else. The reason this accommodation was revoked is because her co-workers said "We're sick of carrying her ass."

She needs to either get with the program, and understand that serving is not consuming, or she needs to take a gate agent gig or quit--or get fired.

She is being unreasonable. It's not like she's working 747s and can hang in the galley reheating meals, she's working for a crappy little regional carrier that sometimes only has one FA on the plane. She's causing a mess for the other FAs and the schedulers. She needs to grow up or go.


I am all for "reasonable accommodation" of religious differences, FWIW. But if someone can't do the job, they can't do the job. No one is going to hire Arnold Schwartzenneger to teach physics, and no one is going to hire Stephen Hawking as a gym trainer. Some people, for whatever reasons, are not qualified to do the job because either they CAN'T or WON'T do the job. And if they can't or won't, there's someone else who can and will. They need to find work that is compatible with their life choices.

This is not the same as discrimination on the basis of religion, either. Those fundy places that take government money and refuse to hire gays, for example, they can shove it. Either they take the qualified gay applicants or they kiss the gub-mint money goodbye.
