TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. Arguments are scheduled to be heard Friday by a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

VERBATIM: The airline also will seek to reverse a judge’s related order that Southwest lawyers must take religious liberty training from a conservative Christian legal group. Southwest says the flight attendant was fired because she violated company rules requiring civility in the workplace. Her lawyers say Southwest violated federal law shielding employees from religious-based discrimination.
