Etihad - dry ?

[Hostie from Hell]

Does anyone happen to know if Etihad is a dry airline and do they have a business and first class section?
Thanks.

They are not a "dry airline". They have business and also first class on most rutes.

Just out of curiosity, if it is a 'not dry' airline, the crew obviously don't mind serving alcohol. Seems sensible and pragmatic, live and let live. So how come in the UK, it is possible to use religion to claim you cannot handle alcohol, for example if you work in Tesco?

The "pragmatic approach", as you put it, probably comes about from the cabin crew mainly coming from non-islamic countries, so they themselves are probably not what you could term "orthodox" muslim.

I'd suggest that if you want to compare cases, that you have a thorough read through any given version [there are quite a few] of a bible that you might have handy for all the dietary & other prohibitions it contains. If you behaved truly in the manner described you'd have a very strange lifestyle, avoiding quite a lot of stuff..........

I was brought up as a catholic which stood me in good stead.

I rarely drink anything other than red wine on religious belief.

Just for me to understand.
