Lawsuit claims United officials and the Dodgers traveling secretary “blatantly” selected charter attendants who were “white, young, thin women.”
Darby Quezada, left, and Dawn Todd, are flight attendants who are suing United Airlines because they were booted from the charter crew for the Los Angeles Dodgers for not being young, white and thin, on Monday, Oct. 30, 2023. Veteran United Airlines flight attendant Darby Quezada thought she was breaking a racial barrier when she was selected in 2020 to work on charter flights for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The lawsuit claims United officials and Dodgers traveling secretary Scott Akasaki “blatantly” selected flight attendants for the charter based on how they looked: “white, young, thin women who are predominately blond and blue-eyed.” Sam S. Yebri, an attorney representing Quezada and Todd, said he intends to question Dodgers officials under oath and, depending on what he finds, may consider adding the team as a defendant in the lawsuit.United has been sued at least once before for alleged racial bias in staffing their sports charters. That suit was settled, according to Yebri, resulting in the addition of Quezada to the crew in 2020 and Todd in 2022.
“This is something I wanted to do before I retire,” Todd said. “You give up things to try and do something nice, more prestige. It’s a cool position to have.”
