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.

Yes, it is, but good on them for standing up.
**stewardesses**?!? I though they were called flight attendants, now?
BTW, folks, there won’t be any alcohol served on this flight.
It was a pretty amazing resistance, too. It's number of members almost quadrupled after the war was over...
Headscarves = KKK Hoods
I was in a USAF communications squadron at Norton AFB at the time. The Squadron was tasked with sending airmen to assist the AF communications unit at the embassy in Riyadh. Female only. I suppose the young women chosen had a suitable attitude towards male companionship, because they all came back happy.
The only flights should be to bomb them into submission!!!
Thanks for that insight.
I guess if someone steals a bag of peanuts on the flight they have their hand cut off and paraded up and down the aisle to discourage others.
This muslim-appeasing crap has to stop!
Did you expect Western Elites who make 'speeches' in Arab Countries for millions of dollars to stand up to anyone? LOL - gimme a break... Our 'betters' sold out long ago.
Elites didn't sell-out for their much vaunted 'principles' they sold out for the old fashioned greenbacks - in the form of bribes and paid 'speeches'.
We're blessed airline employees were willing to take a principled stand... I'm sure they'll be threatened and fired for the effort... Money's on the table after all... AND the elites know better than the rest of us... after all it's NO SKIN off their noses...(just ours)
They could shave their heads. It would really make a statement. The only part of the body a French woman would shave.
Sorry, ladies. You voted for your current government. It allowed Air France to order you to debase yourself. Votes have consequences.
Det 1 out of Dhahran?
Along those lines, in 1989, I was on the USS LaSalle (CJTFME) and had to send tasking messages to tanker units getting ready to deploy to theater and remind them no females were permitted.
Had one unit arrive with a female boomer and when Saudi F-15’s checked in, heard her voice, they went straight back to their base, leaving the AWACs unprotected.
Thank you.
To release vials of smallpox would be a good reason.
