US Airways, Inc. v. Barnett — Stevens, J., concurring

Summary

Justice Stevens concurs in the judgment, affirming that a seniority system is relevant to whether an accommodation is reasonable under the ADA. He notes that the Court of Appeals correctly rejected a per se rule on seniority and found triable issues of fact regarding the interactive process, which remain unaffected. He outlines open factual questions for the remand concerning the impact of the requested accommodation. Justices Scalia, Souter, and O'Connor filed separate opinions expressing disagreement with the Court's analysis of seniority systems.
