Air France stewardesses mutiny over order to wear headscarves
The Telegraph ^ | 2 APRIL 2016 | David Chazan

Air France stewardesses, furious at being ordered to wear headscarves in Tehran, say they will refuse to fly to the Iranian capital when the airline resumes the service later this month.

Female members of flight crews have been ordered to cover their hair once they disembark in Tehran and unions are demanding that the flights be made voluntary for women.

The resumption of a thrice-weekly service between Paris and Tehran, planned for April 17 after an eight-year break, follows a thaw in relations since Iran agreed to dismantle large sections of its nuclear programme.

Iranian women have been forced by law to cover their hair or face stiff fines since the 1979 Islamic revolution. In staunchly secular France, however, public signs of religion have been frowned upon since a 1905 law separating church and state.

Wouldn’t want to see that on a flight... coffee, tea, qua-ran?
Looks like an image of death.

I didn’t read the article, are their pilots required to have beards?

I’m with you on that. It is however two different scenarios. The CA’s not wanting wear a head scarf and our president, our Child-In-Chief embarrassing himself (which he’s too stupid to realize) and our country.

When in Rome ...

The airline could fly to Tehran only with those stewardesses who are willing to go along with the headscarf.

“Wouldn’t want to see that on a flight... coffee, tea, qu’ran? Looks like an image of death.”

Exactly what I was thinking. That Muslimah has an evil grin.

No honor - none - to the so-called “faith” interpreted by a thief, pedophile and mass murderer, to which any adherent is insane.
