No. 06-3486
MARIKO L.A. BENNETT, et al.,
Plaintiffs-Appellants,
v.
SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO., THE BOEING COMPANY, and CITY OF CHICAGO,
Defendants-Appellees.
____________
On Petition for Rehearing
____________
DECIDED JUNE 27, 2007
____________
Before EASTERBROOK, Chief Judge, and BAUER and WOOD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM. Southwest Airlines’ petition for rehearing asserts that it presented an argument that our opinion overlooked: “whether the 1958 Federal Aviation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 40101 et. [sic] sec. [sic], preempts State authority to establish non-uniform and individual State standards for aviation safety.”

We had not overlooked this argument; we just thought it too feeble to require comment.

(Thanks Jim!)

The two [sic]s are particularly cruel. Funny and deserved, but cruel.
