Are you a member of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA because, if so, grievance procedures must be followed. If you were a non-unionized at-will employee, you still probably have an employee handbook that governs terminations and should have been followed.
Generally speaking, however, an at-will (non contract) employee can be terminated for good reason, bad reasons, or no reason at all.
I suggest contacting an attorney with more specifics and supporting documentation.
