Question

1. Rainbow Airlines, a new air carrier headquartered in Chicago with routes from Rome to Canberra, extensively studied the psychology of passengers and determined that more than 93 percent of its passengers felt most comfortable with female flight attendants between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-four. To increase its profitability, the company issued a policy of hiring only such people for jobs in the air but opened all ground jobs to anyone who could otherwise qualify. The policy made no racial distinction, and, in fact, nearly 30 percent of the flight attendants hired were black. What violations of federal law has Rainbow committed, if any?

Please do a post that isn't on here or google. Please give like 6 violations and if you can cite. I will give thumbs up.

Thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

Before this let us discuss some of the federal laws that I have studied or searched:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) - This law basically aims to protect everyone right to provide equal opportunity in the field of employment to everyone. Discrimination if any based on race, color, sex is not acceptable.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 – It prohibits discrimination based on age.
So based on the above laws, I can say that following factors violated federal law:

1. Sexism: Hiring of only females so as to increase passenger foot-fall or turnover is under the violation of federal law.

2. Age discrimination while hiring 21 - 34 age group females for air jobs is one of the major factor that is under federal law violations

3. Racism - Promoting black people is in fact racial discrimination rather than no racial discirmination, It was done to make sure other violations are not being taken care by federal law.
