In Gilman v. Northwest Airlines, Inc, 230 Mich. App. 293; 583 N.W.2d 536 (1998) the Court ruled that a person's age or gender are, "for the most part, wholly unrelated to an individual's ability to carry out duties and serve the airline industry." Id. The Court was "unable to discern how an individual's age or sex has any reasonable connection or relation to airline services or how a state law abridging unlawful discrimination on those bases will restrict an airline's authority to select employees." Id. The Court in Gilman concluded that "while the ADA has been interpreted to have a broad preemptive sweep over state Civil Rights Act claims, there must, nonetheless, be an apparent connection or relation to the airline's routes, prices, or services, in order for the preemptive provision of the ADA to be applicable." Gilman, 230 Mich. App. at 303.
