One thing people are missing is that a number of the planes that the carrier operates may only have a single flight attendant, at most two. So for her to *not* be serving alcohol means that the company loses money on sales and passengers aren't able to get what they want.
Check out the recent profits made by the airline companies due to low oil prices and keeping the same high ticket prices. It's in 100 billions.
So one thing is quite likely, they are not losing much in not selling a single shot of wine.

Which is completely irreverent, and by the way, it's not "100 billions" -- $41 million profit for H1 2015 -- compared to a net loss of $38 million H1 2014
The issue is that Express Jet operates for American/Delta/United as their express/regional carriers. Each of these carriers offers free alcohol to their 1st class passengers. If I had an Islamic FA who wouldn't serve me alcohol, I would complain and make a fuss. I paid for my ticket, which includes alcohol. It would be the same as if a Jewish person wouldn't serve me bacon with my "bacon and egg sandwich" -- your religion isn't my problem. Get past your problem or find a position where it's not an issue.
Vizio is correct, Wood. There is no reason why ANY religious concern should affect the performance of one's job, period. Religion is entirely personal and has no role in job performance.

Well your Prophet Muhammad was a pretty nasty fellow, if history is any measure.

Remind me why we should care what this persons opinion was? You have yet to make this clear.
The guy really did sit around on his high horse judging people a lot didn't he? You paint a picture not unlike an old man sitting on his porch rocking chair waving a walking stick around and shouting things like "Kids today Bygorrah!" only slightly more inclined to use the stick to actually murder the people he finds distasteful, or have people do it for him.
Thankfully in today's modern society, there are no moral or ethical arguments I am aware of, least of all from you, against the moderate enjoyment of any personal indulgence, let alone specifically of alcohol.

According to probably every religion I'm going to hell.
I drink a few beers / glasses of wine per week
I love pork and beef
I have per-marital sex
I watch porn from time to time
I don't donate to the church
I've defaced "in god we trust" on US currency
I subscribe to multiple Atheist groups on Facebook and laugh
I eat babies.
These are all small regional jets, with only one aisle per cabin. That means that the serving cart takes up the whole aisle with either one attendant, or one at each end. I've been on this airline's flights many times. They are small aircraft with little room.
BTW, I think Woodrow said that a truly devout Muslim should avoid places where alcohol is served, so, really, this attendant should avoid getting on airplanes, period. Am I right?

The ERJ135/145 and CRJ200's often only have one flight attendant

You and me, both. Only with me, I would have to replace the last two on your list to:
I practice witchcraft
I put spells on babies-and then I eat them.
And course most people believe I worship Satan. But, truth be known, I actually worship satin-it feels nicer next to the skin.
Just wondering if the spells on the babies is like a sauce or spice or is it just to put spells on them?
Both.
I do like babies. They taste just like chicken.
