98. I'm thinking if the co-workers are filing complaints, it's a hardship for the company

Sun Sep 6, 2015, 07:35 PM

Sep 2015

they've tried to accommodate her and that didn't work.

The scheduling alone would be a nightmare. This isn't like she can't work Saturdays. She can't work any solo flight at any time which is 3/5ths of their flights! She'd have to always be scheduled with a FA who agrees to do this woman's job... What happens if agreeable FA comes down sick and they sub in a FA who won't do this woman's job for her? Then you have the same old conflict and I'd bet another complaint - again.

If they don't have any other openings, they can't simply put her somewhere else right now.

Besides there's LOTS of evidence with other Islamic country based airlines that Muslims are not prohibited from serving alcohol (or even religiously required to wear hijab as any Google image search will show with Qatar, Kuwait, UAE Airways and their FA uniforms etc).

Sorry, but I think she's a new zealous convert and a PITA.

But as we said, I'm sure this will get settled before it goes to court.
