(Reuters) -Southwest Airlines Co on Tuesday said it will appeal a Texas federal judge's unusual order requiring three of its senior lawyers to attend "religious liberty training" by a prominent conservative Christian legal group. The airline in a statement confirmed that it would file an appeal one day after U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr said the lawyers had undermined his earlier ruling in a religious bias case by Southwest flight attendant Charlene Carter. Starr said that instead of notifying employees of their rights against religious discrimination, as he had ordered Southwest to do, the lawyers penned a memo warning workers not to violate the company policy that led it to fire Carter.
