Cabin crew man 'bullied for being gay'
 
http://budurl.com/3qtx

A gay British Airways cabin crew manager endured years of bullying including taunts about his sexuality, an employment tribunal heard yesterday.
During his 19-year career with BA, David Andersson-Wood also claimed he was overlooked for promotion and received minimal bonuses despite performing well in his £47,000-a-year job.

Sad story, but unfortunately not that uncommon. I hope that the younger generation stops judging people based on how they live their private life and who they choose to associate with. :(

Interesting story. I wonder what happened to the B**** of a manager?

Actually, she now works as the head of cabin services for First Choice.

British Airways did not call her as a witness. The tribunal ended today in Reading with a decision due within the next 4 weeks.

Did she leave BA voluntarily or was she ahh pushed?

I'm just surprised - I thought it was part of the job requirement for male cabin crew to be gay
