A Texas federal judge minced no words as he denied Southwest Airlines’ request for a retrial in the free-speech case of a now-reinstated flight attendant.
“Southwest’s argument is this: Companies can sacrifice the faith of their employees on the altar of company policy because some employees dislike people of faith,” the judge wrote in his April 24 decision. Starr rejected that argument, and upheld a jury’s July 2022 verdict against Southwest and the flight attendants’ union.
