FLIGHT ATTENDANT MISSES FLIGHT
 
 
United Airlines fired a flight attendant because he "deviated without authority" from his flight schedule. The employee claimed race and age discrimination. The District Court found that the employee did not even have enough evidence to warrant a trial. The Seventh Circuit found that a triable issue existed and reversed the District Court decision because of United's shifting explanation for the firing and confusion over the meaning of "deviated without authority."
