Union demands American Airlines investigate ‘sexist’ video portraying flight attendants

The American Airlines Flight Attendant Union has demanded an investigation into a video that was posted on Twitter that reportedly showed people portrayed as flight attendants “promoting sex appeal as an attraction to (American Airlines) most prominent and lucrative passengers.” A spokesperson for the airline company said the skit was not at a company sanctioned event and didn’t happen on company property. “This cannot be happening in today’s environment,” said APFA National president Lori Bassani. “We will not tolerate our profession being objectified in a sexist manner. We want the facts about the Company’s involvement and we want answers.” The group wants to know if management was involved, where the skit was performed, and why American Airlines’ logo was used, among several other questions. <br/>
