Lisa Fine was a pilot for Ryan International Airlines who believed her work and training schedules and promotional opportunities were being interfered with by her supervisor because he did not want women to be pilots. Immediately after writing a formal letter of complaint to the head of HR, Fine was fired because she "routinely missed work and was always hard to get along with." Prior to her dismissal, there were no written complaints in Fine's file about either her attendance or her interpersonal skills.

1. Can Fine establish aprima faciecase of retaliation?
2. Did Ryan International Airlines have legitimate reasons to fire Fine or were its proffered reasons merely pretext?
