Airlines' Restrictive Work Rules
A Malaysia Airlines official says passengers wanted to be served by "young, demure and pretty stewardesses" so they only have flight attendants who are under the age of 40. The airline also specifies that female members of their flight crew can only have children after being with the company for five years and they can have a maximum of two children, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. If a flight attendant becomes pregnant after having two children, she must resign or the airline will fire her. The work rules have outraged the London-based International Transport Workers Federation, which wants the airline to "cease its discriminatory practices."
