Flight Attendant Sues Airline for Sexual Harassment
Karin Keegan, a 37-year-old female Delta Airlines flight attendant, is suing JetBlue Airways and Delta Air Lines for sexual harassment. Ms. Keegan complained to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and was given the right-to-sue letters late last year. Due to an agreement, Delta flight attendants are ferried to their job assignments by JetBlue flights. Ms. Keegan claims that a male JetBlue flight attendant denied her access on the work-related flight because she was not dressed provocatively enough. The male JetBlue flight attendant wanted her to wear a lower-cut shirt and tighter pants. When Ms. Keegan changed her outfit to appease the JetBlue attendant, she was told that she was too late to board the flight. In addition, flight attendants of lower seniority were allowed to board the flight without issues with regard to their clothing.
