Summary
Income earned as a staff member of an airline that serves alcohol is permissible to take and use. The reasoning is that the company's main profit comes from its flight services, which are a lawful transaction, while alcohol service is incidental and forms a very small share of profits. Even so, it is better and more meritorious to be scrupulous by leaving the job and seeking work free of doubt.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
