Female cabin crew member wins discrimination case

A new mother and cabin crew member has won a legal claim for sexual discrimination.

Emma Seville made her legal claim at Birmingham Employment Tribunal against the Flybe airline of Exeter.

A new mother to a baby boy, Seville requested Flybe to allow her to work flexible hours so she could have more time looking after her child – Express & Echo report.

She complained the present arrangements placed women cabin crew members at a disadvantage compared with male cabin crew members – prompting the sexual discrimination claim.
