A GROUP of 13 flight attendants say they were illegally fired by United Airlines after refusing to fly on a Hong Kong-bound plane last July that had a "threatening" message scrawled under its tail engine, according to a complaint filed with the US Department of Labor.

In the complaint, filed on Tuesday, they said the words "Bye Bye" and two faces - one smiling and the other "devilish" - were found finger-drawn in oil grime under the auxiliary engine of the Boeing 747-400 plane at San Francisco International Airport.
