MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A Muslim flight attendant for ExpressJet says she was wrongly suspended from her job last month because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers, citing her religious beliefs.

Charee Stanley, a Detroit-based flight attendant for ExpressJet, filed a discrimination complaint Tuesday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Can't they just send her to jail like the county clerk in Kentucky?

Well....she won't win this one. Unless she disclosed all of this ahead of time.


Also, how did she get hired without being aware of what gets served on flights? Was it her first day? Had she never flown before?


ETA: She was hired and then converted. If her religion burdens other employees, then she has no leverage IMO. She should simply be paid less because she can't perform all the duties required of her. I doubt there's a stewardess shortage.

I thought Muslim was the religion of peace? What's more peaceful than a Jack and Coke on a crowded flight?

I don't think she has much of a case. Serving drinks is the job and what she's asking for is not a reasonable accommodation.

Yet her dad is likely selling tons out of his liquor store. Makes sense.

This already played out on Reno 911. "Renisha X" converted and began to force everyone to deal with her irrational bullshite.

Then she shouldn't have been hired or taken the job knowing she would have to serve alcohol.

Maybe I don't understand freedom of religion, but it doesn't seem like it would allow to keep a job whose duties your religion forbids you from doing. For example, if you are Hindu then a butcher can't be forced to pay you to stand around because your job is protected, and it's against your religion to slaughter cows. I mean, people see how absurd this is, right?

When are people going to realize, that your religions can not prevent you from doing your job and if it does their are fricking consequences.

Goddam. I wish I could get through a day without having to do or at least observe something that offends my delicate sensibilities.

So let me get this straight, she converts after she's already served alcohol, and now can no longer do it based on religious beliefs...?

What a crock of shite....? Bitch should've just quit her job then, she already knew what her job description was.... Her and her scumbag lawyer are just looking for a quick buck...

This kind of shite really pisses me off...
