ROLL, District Judge.
The issue presented on appeal is whether the district court properly dismissed Appellant Association of Flight Attendants’ (AFA) complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief under the Railway Labor Act (RLA), 45 U.S.C. § 152, Fourth. 1 The district court dismissed AFA’s complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, concluding that the dispute was within the scope of a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and, therefore, subject to arbitration. We affirm.
