they took the case because of the implications and precedent it will set for all Airlines. Pretty important I guess..
You should just know how much the airlines pay for lobbyists and lawyers then you will understand why the airlines usually get their way on what's important to them.

Isn't he the one who represented Rubashkin in front of the supreme court?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Yes. He represented Rubashkin for the Supreme Court. Hes one of the top lawyers in the nation. Argued many cases in front of the SCOTUS.

Wonder if Rabbi Ginsbergs lawyer can compete.... :-

IIRC he has argued about 30 cases in front of the Supreme Court very few lawyers argued more cases then him. However, am not familiar with all of them but the two mentioned here and he lost both of them. Percentage wise that is...

One of highest of not the highest record of cases for lawyer. You can imagine how expansive he is. Just look how much the airline is investing into it.
Now I know some of us thing that we are taking advantage of the airlines...

Quote from the actual decision:

Quote
Respondent and amici suggest that Wolens is not controlling because frequent flyer programs have fundamentally changed since the time of that decision. We are told that “most miles [are now] earned without consuming airline services” and are “spent without consuming airline services.” Brief for State of California et al. 18 (emphasis deleted). But whether or not this alleged change might have some impact in a future case, it is not implicated here. In this case, respondent did not assert that he earned his miles from any activity other than taking flights or that he attempted to redeem miles for anything other than tickets and upgrades. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 47–48.
