The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for Boeing, finding that genuine issues of fact existed regarding whether age discrimination was justified as a BFOQ, and remanded the case for trial rather than allowing Boeing to rely solely on FAA regulations as conclusive evidence.
