In Bullington v. United Air Lines, Inc, 186 F.3d at 1311, on three different occasions, namely January 1993, March 1995, and May 1995, the defendant-airline denied the application for the position of flight officer made by the plaintiff, one of the defendant's female ground school academic instructors who also was a certified commercial pilot. The court rejected the plaintiff's contention that the three incidents constituted a continuing violation so as to excuse her failure to file a timely complaint with the EEOC within 300 days of the 1993 incident. Id. at 1310-1311. The court found that although the defendant's 1993 conduct was of the same general type as its 1995 conduct, "the 1993 decision was a discrete and salient event that put the plaintiff on notice that the defendant violated her rights." Id. at 1311.
