Flight attendants sue Delta Air Lines for anti-Jewish, anti-Israeli attitude

[marybourg]

Four current and former flight attendants have filed a federal lawsuit against Delta Air Lines alleging that the company’s management has “an anti-Jewish, Hebrew and ethnic Israeli attitude.”

The suit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in New York’s Westchester County. The plaintiffs worked on the airline’s New York-Tel Aviv route. Two are Jewish and two say there were disciplined or subjected to a hostile work environment for their association with Jewish flight attendants and passengers, attorney Brian Mildenberg said in a statement issued Tuesday.

In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Delta management “through words and deeds, operate under an express assumption that ethnic Jews and Israelis, as employees and passengers, cannot be trusted, are aggressive and inappropriate, and engage in what are deemed to be ‘strange’ behaviors by conducting prayers on the flight and requiring special dietary accommodations (kosher meals).”

The airline does fly to Israel from N.Y. and Atlanta. Strange story.

1. Pretty vague. Plaintiffs will need to do better than this or this suit will be tossed.

The complaint doesn’t sound like it was written by an attorney.

2. the complaint itself is vague? or just the portion we see reported?
