The Forum was part of a package that enabled Continental pilots and crew members to have on-line access to their schedules and flight assignments. Ms. Blakey claimed that she forwarded copies of the offending threads to Continental, but that Continental took no action. She brought a second suit, this time against not only Continental but also against the pilots around the country who had posted the messages. The lower New Jersey courts threw out the suit, but the New Jersey Supreme Court voted unanimously to reinstate it. The court also held that, if Ms. Blakey is able to prove at trial that the CompuServe Crew Members Forum was an integral part of the Continental workplace, then the airline was responsible for investigating and stopping any on-line harassment.
