OPINION OF THE COURT
Bellacosa, J.
The threshold issue is whether the Federal Airline Deregulation Act preempts appellants’ State discrimination claims against Delta Airlines. If not, this Court must decide whether Delta’s use of weight standards in hiring former Pan American Airways flight attendants constitutes discrete or interrelated disability, age, or sex discrimination. The Appellate Division, with two Justices dissenting in part, annulled the discrimination determination of the New York State Division of Human Rights, and then granted leave to the complainants. We now affirm.
