Spurlock, a black flight officer, applied for a job with United Airlines and was rejected on his lack of two of the job requirements: a college degree and a minimum of 500 hours of flight service. Spurlock charged that these two requirements were discriminatory towards blacks because the percentage of blacks in this country with college degrees was quantifiably less than the percentage of whites with college degrees, and since whites had been in the industry longer, they would have a better chance of having the minimum 500 hour requirement. United defended its requirements by stating that both of these selection criteria were job related. United showed statistics that claimed that applicants with a college degree were more apt to succeed in the class-room format of the pre-employment training, and 500 hours minimum was a reasonable predictor of employee success in the vigorous training program. Spurlock offered evidence on his behalf by showing that out of United's 5900 flight officers, only 9 were black; thus, there had to be some inherent discrimination in the selection process. Spurlock v. United Airlines, 475 F.2d 216 (10th Cir. 1972) - Is United correct or does Spurlock have a case of discrimination? Explain your answer
