Flight attendant: Magic Johnson fired her for late arrival

The employer says it was about punctuality, the employee says it was about respect and turkey sandwiches.

Latina Thomas, a former flight attendant on Magic Johnson's jet, is suing the Hall of Famer for wrongful termination.

Thomas claims she was let go for being seven minutes late for a flight and claims she was tardy because Johnson requires two different types of turkey meat for his sandwich and she was held up at the deli counter.

The 45-year-old Thomas, who made $75,000 plus a $25,000 bonus, is suing Magic Johnson Entertainment and Clay Lacy Aviation for age discrimination among other labor code violations. There are claims that she was denied rest breaks and overtime.

Thomas said after she returned from medical leave Johnson became "more standoffish and dismissive" and shortly after was fired for being late for a Sept. 6 flight.
