OPINION
GOODWIN, Circuit Judge:
Martin Ventress, a flight engineer, and Jack Crawford, a
commercial pilot (collectively, "plaintiffs"), sued Japan Airlines
and other entities, making a number of claims. They
appeal a judgment on the pleadings for Japan Airlines and its
subsidiary Jalways Co., Ltd. (collectively, "JAL"). We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. ค 1291. We reverse.
Ventress separately challenges the district court's venue
transfer order and an order compelling arbitration of his
claims against Hawaii Aviation Contract Services, Inc.
("HACS"). We affirm the venue transfer and dismiss Ventress'
appeal of the arbitration order.
