Two veteran United Airlines flight attendants are suing the company for discrimination. They claimed that the company is not allowing them to work on certain charter flights because they are not blonde, beautiful, white, and young.
The carrier has several contracts with the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and other professional sports teams to charter flights.
A report by the Business Insider indicated that one of the flight attendants filing suit is a Jewish woman who has been with United for 34 years. The other is a Black woman that has been with the airline for 28 years.
Both women claimed they repeatedly tried to get assigned jobs to the NFL charter flights but they were rejected.
Sharon Tesler and Kim Guillory claimed their supervisors told them that they were not on the “preferred” lists of what the sports teams prefer. Subsequently, they discovered that only young, white, blonde flight attendants were allowed to work on the charter flights.
