Hello,
I would like some legal advice pertaining to a job I am looking into, and my faith. I am a religious person, who holds the 7th day of the week (Saturday) to be a holy day, therefore I am unable to work under any circumstances from friday early afternoon to saturday evening. I am looking into becoming a pilot as a proffesion, but before I even start any training I need to know if my religion fits into the equal opportunity section. Usually airline pilots fly whenever the airline asks them to, even on weekends. I have called up some airlines, and they have said that they do not think they will be able to honor my religious issues, but when I join the airline they might be able to work something out. I need reassurance that either I am covered under some anti descrimination law, or else I will not look into that job sector. Thank you for your time.
