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

[Ms. Toad]

199. What's not true about "in most states"?

In Ohio it is not permitted - which is what prompted my thought in the first place - when you approach a check-out counter staffed by an 18 year old, they have to enlist the aid of someone 21 or older to scan the alcohol and press the enter/sale key. In convenience stores that means that either staff has to be 18 years old, or older, or they cannot work alone. Most airlines fly through Ohio - including Southwest where the minimum age for a flight attendant is 18, and (by two accounts) United with a minimum age of 19.

As for the FAA having special rules - I would find it surprising, since I have encountered both on-the-ground and in-air announcements about whether alcohol service was available, and to whom, based on the airport or airspace the plane was in.

As for the unreasonable burden, accommodations can be reasonable or not based on the size of a company - so that makes the airlines case stronger. But they accommodated her for three months until they received a complaint from a co-worker (generally the impact accommodations have on co-workers is not a valid basis to refuse to accommodate a characteristic for which accommodations are mandated (e.g. religion and disability) It will be pretty hard to walk back what worked well for 3 months,, but was rescinded only in the face of a complaint by a co-worker (not a valid basis to refuse accommodation) with a discriminatory motive (apparent from the face of the complaint).
