RALEIGH, N.C. — A charter airline that once operated as Hooters Air has quit ferrying NBA stars and rockers as it struggles against lost contracts and a felony charge against its CEO for allegedly failing to make payments on his employees' group health insurance.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Wednesday added to the problems confronting Pace Airlines Inc. by filing a lawsuit on behalf of an Asian flight attendant fired three years ago after complaining only white workers were being promoted. The EEOC said it went to court after failing to reach a settlement on behalf of Chau Nguyen, who the agency said made several complaints of discrimination after missing out on promotion to lead flight attendant.

The lawsuit came a day after the private company's new owner and CEO, William Charles Rodgers, was charged with one count of willful failure to pay group health insurance premiums.

For Reference.. There are multiple Chau Nguyens on the web including a news anchor who obviously is not the right person ,, this girl won a hot bod contest in 2004 and I believe that this is the Hooters Air girl.

Instead of holder her back they should have made her CEO.
