Quezada is a 44-year-old woman of Black, Mexican, and Jewish descent and has spent almost 16 years with the airline. The lawsuit contends that the two flight attendants, despite being initially assigned to the Dodgers’ charter flights, were later demoted within the program, and that Quezada was eventually removed without explanation. The Dodgers charter flights are particularly desirable because the crew members earn more money for the longer flights, premium accommodations and higher per diem compensation. This isn’t the first time United Airlines has been accused of preferential treatment on team charters.
