United Airlines to pay $305,000 to a Buddhist pilot who refused to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings

United Airlines will pay $305,000 to a Buddhist pilot who refused to attend meetings organised by the Christian-focused Alcoholics Anonymous, or AA, program. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, said in a press release that the airline discriminated against the pilot, who was diagnosed with alcohol dependency, on religious grounds when it failed to offer an alternative path after he refused to attend AA meetings, citing its religious undertones.
