Description
This is an accelerated interlocutory appeal from the imposition of a temporary injunction prohibiting appellants Frequent Flyer Depot, Inc. and its officers and owners, George and Robert Pirkle, from engaging in the brokering, purchase, sale, bartering, and solicitation of American Airlines AAdvantage(r) rewards points. Appellants challenge the injunction on seven grounds: the underlying suit is pre-empted by federal law; the injunction does not preserve the status quo; there is no enforceable contract between American and its AAdvantage(r) members prohibiting members from selling their rewards points to third parties; the hearing on the temporary injunction should have been continued for appellants to obtain discovery on their antitrust-related counterclaims; American failed to show an imminent injury; American has an adequate remedy; and principles of equity bar the imposition of an injunction. Because we conclude that there is no reversible error on any of these grounds, we affirm.
