What more could I have asked for. Thank you for almost 100% support for my plight.

THIS HAS NEVER BEEN OR EVER WILL BE A POLITICAL STATEMENT OR PROMOTION OF ANY ONE BELIEF OVER ANOTHER. ANY INDIVDIUAL OR ORGANISATION THAT ATTEMPTS TO DO SO DOES NOT HAVE MY SUPPORT AND I DISTANCE MYSELF FROM THEM COMPLETELY.

This is nothing more than an individual standing up to a bullying management style at BMI.

a) I worked for the company for nine years before the Saudi route began.

b) As far as we are aware not ONE airline expects its female staff to walk behind the men irrespective of rank.

c) Some airlines may "advise" it's female staff to wear the abaya, as far as we are aware only BMI demand it

d) These were BMI imposed demands NOT Saudi demands as there is no RULE in Saudi to the effect of females havinf to walk behind the men

d) I NEVER said "It refuse to fly" I told them 18 months previously "I refuse to fly to Saudi". The company had many options which they elected not to take that a reasonable company like virtually every other airline in the world would have taken.

I have been totally taken aback by the support right across entire, ethnic, cultural, and political landscape for my plight against BMI, I am thoroughly delighted that support shown via emails, postings are virtually unanimous in thier condemnation of BMI, Those extremely few who do not support me do so from a position of ignorance or inability to read and digest facts that are already in the public domain.

The VERY simple fact is it was NOT the Saudis, but BMI who were attempting to impose on its staff its own "stereotypical" view of Islamic sensibilities. This is insulting, not only to myself, but as postings prove, to my many of my Muslims supporters..

Just one aspect of this PROVED that BMI are totally out of step with what is expected or is the LAW in SAUDI

In a memo from BMI I was sent it states, word for word, "It is expected that female crew members walk behind their male counterparts in public areas such as the airport no matter what rank" .

What is extremely worrying is the ignorance of a British a UK Employment tribunal I quote again, word for word from its findings " It is not evident to the tribunal that women would regard the requirement to wear a particular item of clothing. the abaya, or to walk behind male colleagues in the airport. as anything more than part of the RULES of a different culture which they should comply when in that country". .....note the tribunal said rules. There is no proof what so ever there are rules or laws in Saudi on this issue. IT WAS PURELY A DEMAND BY THE BRITISH COMPANY BMI.

AGAIN FOR THE REMOVAL OF DOUBT IT IS BMI stating the women were required to walk behind the men.............NOT THE SAUDIS.
