Stuart Gregory Smith, Roy Lee Barrett (argued), Naman, Howell, Smith & Lee, Waco, TX, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before POLITZ, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.


JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Vernon Johnson appeals a judgment of dismissal, including an earlier denial of his motion to remand to state court his state law claim for tortious interference with contract. Concluding that the Pilot Records Sharing Act ("PRSA"), 49 U.S.C. § 44936, does not completely preempt state law claims so as to create federal question jurisdiction, we reverse and remand to the district court with instruction to remand to state court.
