GoJet can't shake $400k jury award in pilot's FMLA case - 7th Circuit

A US appeals court has rejected GoJet Airlines’ attempts to undo a $426,000 judgment for a former pilot who was fired after being diagnosed with diabetes, and ordered a federal judge to consider awarding him even more. A unanimous three-judge panel of the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday said a federal judge in Illinois was right to rule that a collective bargaining agreement between GoJet and plaintiff John Cloutier’s union did not require him to arbitrate his claims, and to send the case to a jury.<br/>
