JetBlue Airways Corp. is set to face a jury trial over a disability bias claim filed by a former hearing-impaired employee. A federal judge in Boston ruled that while the airline defeated several claims, a jury must decide whether the company should have provided the reasonable accommodation of allowing the employee to work exclusively at the ticketing counter. The lawsuit was brought by a former crewmember who experienced difficulties with gate duties due to hearing limitations, which allegedly raised safety concerns. The employee had previously worked at the ticketing counter for several months without any issues. The court's decision sends the key question of reasonable accommodation to a trial.
