TJOFLAT, Chief Judge:
Appellant Paul J. Pyles, a former Pan American Airlines pilot, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his case against United Airlines.

(1988), and the Federal Aviation Act (“FAA”), Pub.L. 85-726, 72 Stat. 731 (1958) (repealed by Pub.L. No. 103-272, § 7(b), 108 Stat. 745, 1379, 1383 (1994), and replaced by provisions of 49 U.S.C.A. §§ 40101-49105 (West 1995)). We affirm.
