Kern v. Dynalectron Corp.

Wade Kern, a white, Baptist male, applied for a job as a helicopter pilot with Dynalectron. Under a contract with the Saudi Arabian government, Dynalectron was recruiting pilots to fly patrol missions along the pilgrimage route to Mecca. Because such flights entered the holy area around Mecca, and since Saudi law specifies beheading as the penalty for non-Muslims entering this area, a condition of employment was that pilots be Muslim.

Kern understood and accepted this condition and was hired. However, three months after formally converting from Baptist to Muslim, he changed his mind. Dynalectron offered him another position that would become available in four months. Kern declined that position and demanded that he be given another position immediately. The company refused. He brought suit, alleging religious discrimination in employment.
