Outcome

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Delta Air Lines on all three claims brought by former pilots McLean and Doyle under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. The court found that Delta had legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the pilots' resignations (abuse of sick and military leave benefits) and that Delta did not violate USERRA pension contribution or vacation accrual requirements.
