Airline boss sacked over 'disgraceful' post about cabin crew on flight
An airline boss has reportedly been sacked after appearing to fat-shame another carrier’s cabin crew who were working on her British Airways flight.

I’m always a little reluctant to demand someone lose their job over off-duty behavior unless it’s truly egregious, endangering others, or - and it sounds like this is the case here - they act in a manner that any reasonable person would find offensive, and do so in a way that associates their boorishness with their employer.
Being a jerk is rude. Being a jerk while clearly identifying yourself as being an employee of a competitor and citing your expertise as such? Sorry, that’s a no-no.
If I had a nickel for every time some company’s legal/hr dept asked for records of an employee’s Facebook activity, that occurred on a company computer, during work hours, at their desk... I’d have a big stack of nickels to hand out to people who were usually unemployed shortly after.
Facebook: not even once. ð

the woman really had no business as an employee of another airline (who by the way was more than likely either flying for free or at a reduced rate)criticizing the appearance of another airlines crew,unless they smelled bad,had hair hanging in her food or the like..every airline has their own standards and their own personnel in who do flight checks on their in flight crews,some of which,on some international carriers,require high heels for women,hats and or gloves..this woman was out of line...
