Delta bigs anti-Semitic – staffers

DELTA AIR LINES has it out for Jewish and Israeli workers, as well as people traveling to Israel, according to a new Brooklyn federal discrimination lawsuit.

Four current and former flight attendants allege in Tuesday’s suit that management has an “anti-Jewish, Hebrew and ethnic Israeli attitude.”

The carrier’s brass allegedly presume Jewish and Israeli workers and passengers “cannot be trusted, are aggressive and inappropriate, and engage in what are deemed to be ‘strange’ behaviors by conducting prayers on the flight and requiring special dietary accommodations (kosher meals).”

The lawsuit says Delta also launches “targeted enforcement actions” against attendants who share their companion travel passes with Jewish travelers bound for Tel Aviv.

One attendant said she got probation and a suspension on her travel pass privileges for hooking up a longtime friend with a Tel Aviv pass. The experience was so bad, she said she had to stop working the Tel Aviv flight. Two of the others were scared to share their passes, the suit said.

Delta said it “strongly condemns the allegations of discrimination described in this suit and will defend itself vigorously against them.

“As a global airline that brings people across the world together every day, Delta values diversity in all aspects of its business and has zero tolerance for discrimination,” the carrier added.
