United Airlines | Flight attendants file case against airline for being denied work due to not being 'white, young & thin'

Two experienced flight attendants from United Airlines have filed a lawsuit alleging that they were denied positions on a charter flight for the Los Angeles Dodgers due to player preferences for "white, young, thin" attendants.

The lawsuit, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims that the airline and the baseball team discriminated against them on the basis of race and physical appearance.

The flight attendants, Dawn Todd, 50, who is black, and Darby Quezada, 44, of mixed Mexican, black, and Jewish descent, argue that they were denied the roles because they did not fit the "certain look" preferred by the Dodgers players.

Both Todd and Quezada have over 15 years of experience with United Airlines.
