That's a settlement, not a court ruling, and it's for those claiming that they were not hired based on their status as USAF Reserve members in Washington State. A USERRA claim. Those awarded money claim they didn't get hired because of their status as reserve members. The claim, as class-action, extends to any who applied in the specified time frame, and who were Washington reserve or guard, who had at least 2,000 hours of flight time, or ISR experience, or King Air experience. Even if they were not hired for other reasons...the mere fact that they fall in that category means they get a share of the settlement.

That's a far cry from establishing that L3 has a problem with service members.

An ANG member who has flown a King Air and whipped out an application, who didn't get hired, gets a payout. Free money, not for having done anything, but for not having done anything.

Imagine if all the others who didn't get hired by L3 during that time could get a piece of the pie...
