Caroline was employed with the Atlantic Cable Company, where she has worked as a customer service representative for the last ten years. She currently earns $18.75 per hour. Looking for a new challenge and an increase in pay, Caroline applied internally for a position in cable repair. Cable Repair Associates earned $26.00 per hour and overtime was often available. Cable Repair Associates were routinely required to climb to the top of telephone poles to complete repair and maintenance work. And the necessary tool belts for that repair and maintenance work weighed between fifteen and twenty pounds. Atlantic Cable refused to admit Caroline into the training program for the position. Because she was a female, claimed Atlantic Cable, Caroline would be incapable of performing the duties of a Cable Repair Associate.

Discuss this scenario from both Caroline and Atlantic Cable's point of view. Include the legal basis for any relevant claims and defenses.
