Case Summary

The Dallas district office of the EEOC filed this complaint against the Exxon Mobil Corporation on September 22, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. EEOC alleged that Exxon Mobil violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by prohibiting pilots, including the complainants in this case, from piloting corporate planes once they reached the age of sixty.

The Dallas district office of the EEOC filed this complaint against the Exxon Mobil Corporation on September 22, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. EEOC alleged that Exxon Mobil violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by prohibiting pilots, including the complainants in this case, from piloting corporate planes once they reached the age of sixty. Exxon Mobil forced the complainants under the company's policy into involuntary retirement. The EEOC sought injunctive relief, damages for the complainants, attorneys' fees, and a correction to an unlawful employment practice that discriminated on the basis of age. The request for preliminary injunction was denied, but in a subsequent hearing the judge ruled that the plaintiff would stay employed, but "grounded" and maintain the same rate of pay.

Exxon Mobil filed for summary judgement, arguing its policy was a “Bona Fide Occupational Qualification” (BFOQ), meaning that prohibiting pilots from flying after a certain age was reasonably necessary to the business and it would be impossible or highly impractical to deal with the older employees on an individualized basis. The court granted summary judgment on April 28, 2008 (2008 WL 1958992).

On July 3, 2008, the EEOC appealed to the Fifth Circuit, arguing that it had not been allowed sufficient range of discovery in terms of establishing the continuing validity of the BFOQ and the FAA’s age-based rule as a matter of law before summary judgement was issued. The Fifth Circuit found for the EEOC and the case was remanded on August 27, 2009. 2009 WL 2710072.

On remand, the district court heard arguments relating to continuing validity. Through expert testimony, Exxon Mobil established that the risk of sudden incapacitation increases with age and no test can adequately anticipate the likelihood of when an incapacitating event may occur. The EEOC argued that the risk for incapacitation was rare and that advances in medicine rendered a blanket policy regarding age unnecessary. The court found that Exxon Mobil has established the continuing validity of its age-based rule as a matter of law. Summary Judgement for Exxon Mobil was granted on September 13, 2012 and amended on December 19, 2012. 2012 WL 6608755.

The EEOC appealed again to the Fifth Circuit on February 13, 2013 for reconsideration. The Fifth Circuit reviewed the case and affirmed the district court’s ruling on March 25, 2014. 560 Fed. Appx. 282. This case has been closed.
