Southwest Airlines must confront a lawsuit from its pilots' union, which accuses the airline of illegally intimidating and threatening disciplined pilots. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association provided sufficient evidence of 'anti-union animus' to proceed in federal court, contradicting a lower court's earlier ruling for arbitration. The case centers on claims that pilots were made to fear retaliation for union involvement, particularly involving the demotion of a 'check pilot' linked to union activities.
