United Airlines (Chicago) says it will fight the litigation “vigorously”. Flight UA 869 on July 14, 2014 from San Francisco to Hong Kong was cancelled because the 13 flight attendants refused to fly on the aircraft due to the alleged threatening message on the outside of the aircraft.
Reuters: “13 flight attendants say they were illegally fired by United Airlines after refusing to fly on a Hong Kong-bound plane last July that had a “threatening” message scrawled under its tail engine, according to a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the complaint, filed Tuesday, they said the words “Bye Bye” and two faces, one smiling and the other “devilish,” were found finger-drawn in oil grime under the auxiliary engine of the Boeing 747-400 plane at San Francisco International Airport.”
