BMI: British Dhimmi Airlines

A BMI air stewardess was sacked for refusing to wear a traditional Islamic robe and walk behind male colleagues when travelling to Saudi Arabia.

Lisa Ashton, 37, was told that she had to wear a black robe, known as an abaya, which covers everything but the face, feet and hands, when out in public areas.

She was also instructed by the airline to follow her male colleagues, irrespective of their rank.

When Miss Ashton refused to fly she was dismissed.

An employment tribunal in Manchester earlier this year cleared BMI of sexual discrimination, ruling it was justified in imposing ‘rules of a different culture’ on staff.

It ruled there was no evidence that women would regard BMI’s requirements on wearing an abaya or that walking behind men would ‘place them under any disadvantage’.

Ja BMI er et britisk flyselskab. Det er det tidligere British Midland. Som iøvrigt ifølge deres egen hjemmeside begyndte i 1938 som Air Schools Ltd, der trænede RAF piloter! AK og ve.
