United Airlines | Staff accuse airline of selecting only 'young white & thin' staff for flight

Two experienced flight attendants from United Airlines have filed a lawsuit alleging that they were denied positions on a charter flight for the major US sports team, 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.
