Muslim flight attendant sues ExpressJet over suspension
A Muslim flight attendant has sued ExpressJet, accusing the airline of wrongly suspending her because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers.What is it about people who think employment duties are an a la carte menu to pick and choose their duties and the traveling public should accommodate them particularly when they knew the duties before being hired?

Airline did the right thing. People tend to forget why they were hired and that they are required to perform the duties assigned with that job.
No different than a drug store not filling birth control prescriptions due to the persons religious views. But they got away with it this person didn't.
I agree that if you take the job you take all that goes with it good or bad if it goes against your views. Quit and move on don't expect the employer to modify his business for you.

You are mostly correct. In most states a pharmacist can do that providing the patient is given an easy and accessible alternative location to fill that Rx. In practicality almost all pharmacists are now employed like this lady and follow the rules of the employer. Pretty hard to find an easy and accessible alternative at FL360 with a single FA.
Fire her!
i always find it interesting that the Gulf Airlines serve alcohol and probably do not have flight attendants who refuse to perform full duties. The question is what other religious accommodation is to be made...praying to Mecca on flights or refusing to work with male cabin crew or wearing a burka.
The airlines and other employers are going to have to require airtight employment contracts with duties delineated that will allow them to discharge those unwilling to carry out assigned duties for any reason related to personal beliefs.

Just another complainer hoping they can be made rich for life by filing a lawsuit for one silly reason or another. It's the American way. SUE everybody for anything and every thing you might get rich.
