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. Katarzyna Richter, director of LOT Polish Airlines, was believed to have taken secret pictures of male and female workers while travelling on the British Airways flight before posting them to Facebook. The Polish native then reportedly wrote comments attacking the workers for their weight and teeth.

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 picture begs the question would you go to work looking like that ?
Despite this the vast majority of the BA cabin crew are pleasant and professional and I for one will stay loyal particularly as they have started flights to Charleston SC
