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'


A 79-year-old air hostess employed by Delta since 1962 is suing the airline after she was fired over a missing carton of milk.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMailTV, Ida Gomez Llanos claims she was the victim of a smear campaign by colleagues envious of her salary and perks, 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, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Huntington Beach-based flight attendant filed her lawsuit against Delta Airlines this month in a Los Angeles court, claiming she was ‘harassed’, ‘bullied’ by colleagues – and that instead of protecting her, bosses wrote her up and eventually fired her.

The 79-year-old told DailyMailTV that after 57 years working for the company, which saw her rise to become the number one flight attendant in LA and rank fifth in the country, her bosses dismissed her for taking a carton of milk off a plane after her line manager gave her permission.

I can see why she would think they're against her

I work for air Canada and these damn senior employees making twice the amount per hour to work in the easiest spots around the airport. But they can't get fired because they have a cloak of invisibility around them and they feel untouchable.
