Luiz 4,253 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A number of female Air France cabin crew staff are resisting an airline ruling that they should wear a headscarf when outside the plane in Tehran, according to a union representative. "Every day we have calls from worried female cabin crew who tell us that they do not want to wear the headscarf," said Christophe Pillet of the SNPNC union. Company chiefs sent out a memo informing female staff they would be required "to wear trousers during the flight with a loose fitting jacket and a scarf covering their hair on leaving the plane", Mr Pillet said. "Iranian law requires that a veil covering the hair be worn in public places by all women on its territory," the airline said. "This obligation, which does not apply during the flight, is respected by all international airlines which fly to Iran." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-03/air-france-cabin-crew-told-to-wear-headscarves-in-tehran/7295046 I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

PaperIz 7,354 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's a dumb law, but if you don't like it don't get off the plane? I know I wouldn't want to upset a foreign country lol Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they'd prefer a voluntary system, but the company does not agree (penalties for those who doesn't want to wear headscarves). That is the main problem.

Morphine Prince 109,671 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I think the solution should be to have them leave the plane to a private room so they can't be seen by the public? Idk. They shouldn't be forced to wear something cultural imo. Only things that should be forced on people to wear are things for physical safety such as a life coat when on a boat, for example.

Many of my family are Jehovah witness so i want to know if they are getting screwed more than normal! The problem with France and religion is they don't that being a secular country means the neutrality of the State towards its citizen not the neutrality of its citizen. They go to Iran, there is Sharia law applied there and it is mandatory for women to wear the headscarf. I can understand they don't want to but honestly I don't see why they have to be so worked up about it? Isn't it possible to not be put on the flight to Tehran? Maybe the company should work on that. But I find such reaction close minded and ignorant if you are a flight attendant you must deal with a lot of people from different culture.

But when they donate to their organization, France had put in a super high tax for witnesses donations that only they specifically had to pay and other religions didnt pay. It was like 4-6 years ago i think. and i agree. If ur gonna fly, respect laws from other places, u dont have to agree with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
