Airline rejects woman’s job application over depression history

A British woman has gone public about her treatment by Emirates Airlines after her job application was rejected due to a history of depression.

Megan Cox, a 22-year-old from Somerset, UK, was offered her dream job as a flight attendant last month only to then have the offer withdrawn based on the results of her medical history.

The airline's decision reversal was made due to the fact that Megan had endured depression in 2012 after what she describes as a time of "horrific circumstances" that "sent me into depression for two months."

Outraged over her treatment, Megan launched a Facebook page called Emirates Against Depression, determined to bring her injustice to light.

"It's heartbreaking losing your dream job for being a human being," she posted on Facebook.

"But good riddance Emirates. I'm a human being, who has been through hell and back during certain times of my life … Depression made me a stronger, healthier person and opened my eyes to the world. It's given me life experience that you couldn't comprehend. I am able to deal [with] any type of person from the life I've led. I'm able to understand, support and appreciate every single person that crosses my path. I would have been the perfect air hostess," she wrote.

Her story has been picked up by media outlets worldwide and Megan says she has had an "overwhelming reaction" from the public.

A spokesman for the airline made a statement to The Independent.

"Emirates has a clear and fair recruitment process and is an equal opportunity employer … We are unable to comment on individual recruitment cases."
