Hotten wrote in a dissenting opinion, though the record did not reveal which employers knew or did not know.

JetBlue would have the court interpret § 121.709(e) as exempting JetBlue from following its own procedures. But FARs do not negate compliant rules air carriers place on themselves via their maintenance manuals.

"IFI takes issue with the fact that Howard pleads that either IFI or Nashville Quality, LLC were responsible for the accident or sabotage that resulted in glass in her food.

"Plaintiff is therefore forced to resort to an argument that Defendant's facilities—located on the opposite coast—infringe on its trademarks. This sort of significant geographic separation between local businesses, coupled with the lack of any legally cognizable consumer overlap, compels application of the principles espoused in Dawn Donut, What-A-Burger, and their progeny.
