1Opinion of the Court
BRORBY, Circuit Judge.
Defendant United Air Lines, Inc., appeals from a jury verdict granting damages to plaintiff Walter McAlester in a racially discriminatory discharge claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. United also appeals the district court’s order reinstating McAlester to his employment with United.
United asserts the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over McAles-ter’s § 1981 claim because the Railway Labor Act (RLA), 45 U.S.C. §§ 151-188, gives adjustment boards exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising under a collective bargaining agreement, 45 U.S.C. § 153, First ©•
