Two flight attendants from United Airlines claim in a lawsuit that a charter flight for the Dodgers denied them a position because the players preferred women who were “white, young, thin.”
“United fosters an environment of inclusion and does not tolerate discrimination of any kind,” United Airlines told Reuters in a statement. “We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.”

Old, fat POCs? Put them in the cockpit.
No surprise with United Airlines- who i won’t fly at all costs:
Last week United Airlines set off another bomb in the exhausting culture war with this commercial: “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color. Learn more and apply now:”
In it, they announce their plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots they train in the next decade to be women or people of color. This sparked a flurry of predictable responses claiming that United Airlines is putting the lives of their customers at risk. There were also cries of infantilization with reminders that quotas of this nature lead to a kind of imposter syndrome of the “chosen” asking themselves, “Wait, did I really earn my position in this seat based on my merit and skill? Or was it the accidental organ between my legs or shade of my epidermis that got me here?”
For a moment, let’s set aside the motivations by United to perhaps cash in on a societal moral trend—engaging in a bit of “justice performity” to boost their brand’s image. Of course, that is part of the equation that drives so many of us crazy, but I’d like to focus on something much less appreciated to explain the commercial and the civilizational moment: Wait, is United really putting lives at risk with this policy?

I didn’t think that United had STANDARDS, but I guess for well-paying charter flights, they still do.
I was a charter flight attendant and can confirm that the basketball/football players/staff don’t want old, fat, ugly and mean flight attendants.
FFS, give them what they want.
Let’s just stipulate that the women who are selected for these flights totally get it.
Shani’qua can’t get down the aisle
That’s what everyone prefers.
“We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.”
Translation:
We are going to let this cool down will be writing a check.
“And the women all have long legs and brains.”
No doubt demanded by all those white players right.
Let’s face it professional sports is like a Klan meeting.
ESPN is so white...sarc
How about just a group of people who know how to safely fly the damn plane?
They’re just hypocrites and miscreants.
True in every corner of life today where the kooks and idiots are constantly ranting, harping, bitching, and complaining about nothing.
Bring back the good old days!
100% the hot stews
