U.S. sues airline over benefits

The Department of Justice has filed a class-action lawsuit against American Airlines, saying the carrier illegally denied benefits to pilots while they were serving in National Guard and Reserve units. Justice officials said it was the first time they had filed a class-action case charging an employer with violating a 1994 law designed to protect employees who leave their jobs temporarily to serve in military units. The Department of Justice said Thursday night that it filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Dallas on behalf of three Naval Reserve and Air National Guard pilots.
