Robin Brindle, et al. v. Delta Airlines, Inc., et al.

Paid petition · Supreme Court of Rhode Island, No. 2016-324-M.P., 2016-325-M.P., 2016-326-M.P., 2016-328-M.P., 2016-329-M.P. · judgment June 18, 2019

Certiorari denied · January 13, 2020

Pre-decision estimate: 7% cert probability (95% interval 4%–13%)

Before the decision, about 1.8× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel with five or more prior petitions here, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Whether the preemption provision of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, 49 U.S.C. § 41713(b)(1), exempts airlines from state and local wage regulation.
