Flight attendant, 79, employed by Delta since 1962, is suing the airline after she was fired over a missing carton of milk as she claims she is the victim of an ageist smear campaign by colleagues envious of her salary and perks
Ida Gomez Llanos claims she was ‘harassed’ and ‘bullied’ by Delta colleagues. encouraged by managers who wanted to replace her with cheaper, younger staff.
After receiving annual pay rises over her 57-year career, Llanos was earning around $250,000 when she was fired - more than four times the average flight attendant salary of $56,000.
The 79-year-old told DailyMailTV she rose to become the Number One flight attendant in LA and rank fifth in the country.
‘They accused me of sleeping, of taking chocolates, not doing a good job – but my letters from passengers proved that wrong,’ Llanos said
‘They accused me of not being able to arm or disarm the doors. But we all go through training every year, and we have to pass that training or we do not fly'
