United States Eleventh Circuit

A claim against plaintiff's former employer pursuant to Florida's Whistleblower Act is not pre-empted by the federal Airline Deregulation Act, 49 U.S.C. section 41713, because an airline's employment decisions are not "air carrier services," as used in the Act's pre-emption clause.
