Joseph D. Wolgel and Edythe R. Wolgel v. Mexicana Airlines, a Mexican Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
Joseph and Edythe Wolgel appeal from the dismissal of their claim for discriminatory “bumping” under § 404(b) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, 49 U.S.C. app. § 1374(b) (1982). The district court held that their claim was time-barred by the two-year statute of limitations contained in the Warsaw Convention. We reverse and remand for further proceedings.
