Not quite Magnum, P.I., but....

@CAPTDOUG & wanabee777
Case from Hawaii: Hawaiian Airlines v. Norris, 1994 (findlaw link: HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC. v. NORRIS | FindLaw)
I believe that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Norris, that the RLA does not necessarily require an airline pilot, who claims he or she was discharged from employment because they had been a "whistleblower," to proceed only through the RLA's arbitration dispute resolution system, is still "good law." Meaning unlike Magnum whose run ended (except in syndication), the ruling in Norris, more than 20 years later, is still the law in the U.S.
(If there is a later case, which I have missed, changing the law, after Norris, well, this legal advice is worth what you have paid for it!)
