[ummmm]

Ridiculous. She shouldn't have taken the job!

[sandyRoe]

"she realized one day that her religion not only prohibited her from consuming alcohol herself but also serving it to others."
There's plenty of corner grocers who manage to cope with selling alcohol.

[ummmm]

Then she should have resigned.

[Smowball]

Stupid woman- honestly!!

[rockyracoon]

She realised one day. Hmmm, what a load of crock.

I can clearly state I know nothing of american employment law
( but it favours the employER apparently )

No, it isn't the first step in what you suggest Sandy.

The woman will have to find a career that suits her new found religious beliefs.

I agree with Ummmm. Took the words right out of my mouth.

The attempt to compromise was a kind gesture but duties should not be loaded onto other colleagues like that unless the airline offers two job positions. Serving alcohol and non-service alcohol. In which case folk know what job they are accepting.

Anyway to Sandy's question: very likely not. Consumption on the plane is probably not a great cause of problems. Most flights are too short to get steamed, and the attendants could exercise judgement as landlords must if the airline approves. The bigger problem must surely be getting tanked up prior to the flight.

I hope not, sandy. I'm a nervous flyer and really feel the need for a drink before I get on board. Then, if it's a bit turbulent I'll have another during the flight. I rarely fly, thank goodness, but may have to within the next couple of months and my stomach is knotting already. Younger daughter has 2 stiff G & Ts before a flight.

Flights will never go alcohol free. There is too much money to be made and for full service airlines, a glass of wine or two with dinner is all part of the experience.
