A long-serving British Airways flight attendant has won a discrimination claim after being sacked when she became too anxious to fly.
Jennifer Clifford worked for the airline for almost 40 years before the Covid-19 pandemic, an employment tribunal heard.
However, during a period of furlough and sick leave, she developed symptoms of stress and depression, leading to her being declared unfit to fly.
After being temporarily moved to a ground role, Ms Clifford was still unable to take to the skies by the end of 2022 and was fired.
She sued BA claiming that a manager had 'minimised' the severity of her condition by describing it as 'just a little bit of anxiety'.
