Muslim flight attendant sues over serving alcohol on flights

[jc456]

yes, one on each side, and the efficiency of service would be reduced if one did not serve booze. A reasonable accommodation is one that does not impact the performance of the employee.

maybe. but significantly reduced? i doubt that. and if the attendant in the back was taking care of the alcohol it would be assumed that the one in front would handle both sides to even things out.

But that would place an additional burden on the other employee, and slow things down. Considering flight attendants have other duties, and on a single aisle plane, any extra time where the cart is blocking impacts the passengers, a situation has been created where accommodation leads to impact to the customers, the employees, and the employers.

and that could be a valid argument, although i would very much doubt that any significant impact on service would exist.

but absolutely she'll have to show how she could have been accommodated

and they'd have to ask her, did you know walking on the plane that you'd be required to serve alcohol? What do you think she'd say?

that doesn't matter

explain

 

[IsaacNewton]

Wow she is more Christian than most Christians.

But again, all the kneelers in the world need to keep that shite in their house of worship or their home.

 

[Ravi]

She worked for the airline for a few years and then converted to Islam.

The airline originally made an accommodation by having the other attendant serve the alcohol. When the other attendant complained, the airline suspended the Muslim woman.

I would complain too if I had to pick up for someone else's job.

Me too. And her conversion was a choice. I think she will lose her suit.

 

[jc456]

You dopes wanted a religious exemption and this is where it leads. Enjoy.

TOTALLY not the same thing

Why is it not the same thing?

it's a job description and everyone owns the same responsibilities toward the job. There isn't any privilege unless arrangements were made when she was hired. Period.

 

[ogibillm]

I'm not a flight attendant and i don't know the specifics of the job duties or requirements on various flights. i have no way of knowing if what she was asking was reasonable or not.

i do know that most flights I've been on have two attendants working out of the same cart.
that would seem to make the request reasonable, but maybe that's not how it works for her airline

The impact is you have 1 person serving drinks instead of two. She can't even hand over a drink made by the other Flight attendant, if you go by her position on touching alcohol. So she gets done serving non-alcoholic stuff, and now has to wait for the alcohol server to finish double duty.

come on. you know most drinks served are not alcoholic

 

[StLucieBengal]

If you dont want to serve alcohol then dont be a waitress at a place that includes a bar.

Not on some of the Flights I've been on. of course my favorite Destination is New Orleans, so that may skew the booze/no booze ratio.

and even if most are not booze, the booze you usually have to pay for via credit card, so those transaction take more time than the others, and can have a disparate impact above their transaction ratio.

 

[jillian]

Screw the bitch. If she really didn't know serving alcohol was part of the job requirement when she signed up she surely learned of it during her training and could have quit then because of a conflict with her religious beliefs. Hope a judge thoroughly reams her attorney's ass before he tosses the case.

did you say that about kim davis?

 

[blackhawk]

If your religion prohibits you from serving alcohol why would you accept a job where that is part of your duties?

The alcoholic drinks cost money. The sodas do not. It is more time consuming to serve alcohol.

ok. so she could take payment while the other pours.

i think there was likely a reasonable accommodation that could have been made, and there was one made and then revoked.

probably. so while attendant B serves alcohol attendant A serves more non-alcoholic drinks.

No. They work as a team with the goal of making the passengers happy and safe. This kind of work place strife is ridiculous. One employee should not be made to accommodate another.

 

[StLucieBengal]

we fly to europe a few times a year and had been using Turkish Airlines. They never had a Muslim FA on those flights. Or if one was she wasnt all muzzied up. Now on the flights from Istanbul to Muzzie land i am not sure.

I do know that the muzzie passengers on those flights are a pain in the rear end for those ladies. They are always trying to move seats and no man can sit next to their wife.

So this begs the question. Why is a metro jet using muslim flight attendants when the vast majority of the passengers are normal and will most likely want alcohol. If she wants to be a muslim FA then maybe she should go work the route to and from the middle east.

If your religion prohibits you from serving alcohol why would you accept a job where that is part of your duties?

Ravi says she converted a few years after getting the job.

Muslim flight attendant sues over serving alcohol on flights

A Muslim flight attendant has sued ExpressJet, accusing the airline of wrongly suspending her because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers.


Fuck muslims, alcohol bans are next, I hate that fukking religion and I hate the liberals who enable these wankers

Just wait until they reach 10% of the population. Then the shit will hit the fan. Women, go buy one of those nice black burkas now while you can. There may be a rush on them, and you will have to wait in the house until you can get one. And you gays better start heading for the closet again. Casinos and drinking bars and club dancing will be shut down. We will have to pray 4 times a day. Looks like life is going to become boring. Aw well, we are asking for it. And with Obama's and Hillary's help we will get Sharia law. Trump is our only Lord and saviour. Better make sure that you vote for Trump in the next election or kiss fun goodbye. You are being warned. Better heed that warning.

I'm not a big lover of third world Arab Muslim shithole people myself, but the employee was shitcanned. I don't think the death penalty is called for in this case.

Serving alcohol is a part of her job.
