1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Eastern Air Lines, Inc. (Eastern) appeals a judgment requiring it to calculate seniority for its émployees in Puerto Rico in accordance with the Com monwealth’s wrongful discharge statute, Act. No. 80 of May 30, 1976, P.R. Laws Ann. tit. 29, § 185a-/ (1985) (“Law 80”). Such an approach differs from that used in determining the seniority of all its other employees. We conclude that the only remedy available under the statute is severance pay in the event of a wrongful firing, and we therefore reverse.
