Simple Flying

American Airlines will pay $200,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)following the termination of a blind employee. The case centers on an employee at American’s Fort Worth, Texas, location who developed cortical blindness and subsequently requested technology that would allow her to continue performing her duties. According to the EEOC, the airline allegedly failed to provide reasonable accommodation and instead kept the employee on unpaid leave for almost four years before terminating her. The EEOC announced the settlement on August 28, 2026.
