        TOKYO, Japan - Plaintiffs and their supporters hold a press conference after the Tokyo District Court ordered Japan Airlines International Co. on March 26 to pay about 15 million yen in damages to flight attendants with children who sued the airline for illegally reducing their daytime work to one to two days a month and thus their salary. The plaintiffs -- four female cabin crew members aged between 42 and 50 with more than 20 years of employment -- argued that it was illegal for their employer to reduce their daytime duties when they were exempted from working late at night under the childcare law, which regulates work after 10 p.m. for those raising preschoolers.
