Employment Law for Airline Employees

We represent airline employees — not airlines — in whistleblower, disability, and employment retaliation claims.

Who We Are

We are a law firm dedicated to defending the civil rights of airline employees in the workplace. Our practice focuses on employment-related claims under federal law, including the AIR21 whistleblower statute, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and related retaliation and discrimination laws.

We do not represent airlines or unions. We represent individual airline employees — commercial, cargo, and regional — who need strong legal advocacy in a complex and highly regulated industry.

What We Do

AIR21 Whistleblower Protection

Airline employees who report safety violations or refuse to work under unsafe conditions are protected under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21).
If you’ve been grounded, disciplined, demoted, or terminated after raising concerns about safety, regulatory compliance, or violations of FAA rules, we can help. We represent airline employees in investigations before the OSHA Whistleblower Office, in Department of Labor hearings, and in federal court litigation when necessary.

ADA and Fitness-for-Duty Disputes

Airline employees removed from duty due to medical or psychiatric evaluations have rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

We represent airline employees who are denied reasonable accommodations, sidelined indefinitely, or subjected to invasive and discriminatory medical programs. We challenge unjust “fitness-for-duty” processes and work to restore careers derailed by stigma or overreach.

Fighting HIMS Abuse by Airlines

We have a special interest in representing airline employees forced into the HIMS program by commercial airlines. While originally designed to assist with substance abuse recovery, HIMS is increasingly misused as a tool of control, discrimination. And retaliation.

We believe the structure and application of HIMS programs often violate the ADA, especially when airline employees are coerced into participation without individualized assessment or clear medical justification.

Our mission is to force airlines — through litigation — to either bring HIMS programs into compliance with federal disability law or eliminate their abusive use altogether.

If you’ve been placed into HIMS against your will, subjected to unnecessary psychiatric evaluation, or denied due process during the medical clearance process, we want to hear your story.
