NOTES EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AND INTERSTATE CARRIERS In 1957, Marlon Green, a former United States Air Force pilot and a Negro, filed an application for employment with Continental Air Lines, an interstate corporation whose flight operations extend to eight states. Green was tested and interviewed but not hired.' He filed a complaint with the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission and, after a hearing, the Commission found that Continental Air Lines had violated the Anti- Discrimination Act of 1957.2 Finding that Green was the best qualified applicant,3 the Commission ordered the airline to enroll him in their training school.' On appeal, the Commission's order was reversed and the complaint dismissed. The trial judge held that the application of the fair employment act to interstate carriers resulted in a substantial burden on commerce and that the area had been preempted by congressional action and executive orders.

  • Communicative Experiences of African American Female Pilots on the Flight Deck: an Application of Co-Cultural Theory and Narrat
    Communicative Experiences of African American Female Pilots on the Flight Deck: An Application of Co-Cultural Theory and Narrative Nonfiction to Inform Crew Resource Management by Michael L. Zirulnik A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved September 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Janet Alberts, Co-Chair Benjamin Broome, Co-Chair Lee Gutkind Mark Orbe ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 © 2015 Michael L. Zirulnik All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This study sought to inform the curriculum of crew resource management (CRM) for multi-pilot flight deck operations. The CRM curriculum requires continued reexamination to ensure safe flight in the changing demographic of flight decks in the US. The study calls attention to the CRM curriculum’s insufficient inclusion of robust training components to address intercultural communication skills and conflict management strategies. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, the study examined the communicative experiences of African American female military and airline transport pilots on the flight deck and within the aviation industry. Co-cultural theory was used as a theoretical framework to investigate these co-researcher’s (pilots) experiences. A parallel goal of the investigation was to better understand raced and gendered communication as they occur in this specific context—the flight deck of US airlines and military aircraft. The researcher conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews and shadowed two co-researchers (pilots) for a period of days and built a relationship with them over the course of one year. Eight years of preparation working in the airline industry situated the researcher for this study.

  • Race, Masculinity, and the Community of Pilots in Postwar America”
    “‘A Rare Bird….’: Race, Masculinity, and the Community of Pilots in Postwar America” Alan D. Meyer Assistant Professor Department of History Auburn University Introduction In the late 1960s, Roosevelt Lewis took a Civil Air Patrol plane out for a routine training flight. After he landed, he noticed a commotion on the far side of the airport fence. Children on a field trip to the airport had rushed over to watch him taxi the plane to its parking place. As Lewis, wearing aviator’s sunglasses and a flight suit, climbed out of the cockpit and ambled over to answer questions, he heard several kids shout, “Hey Mister, where’s the pilot?”1 A few years later, Jessie Lee Brown, a former helicopter door gunner in Vietnam who had earned his civilian pilot’s license upon returning home, rented a plane for a cross country flight in his home state of Alabama. As he carefully cleaned the windshield before his flight, another pilot called out for Brown to come over and wash his windshield; clearly this man had mistaken Brown for a lowly airport attendant instead of a fellow pilot.2 A decade later in the early 1980s, Leon Johnson was routinely hailed as he walked through the airport concourse in his airline pilot’s uniform by travelers who asked him to carry their bags. In another case of mistaken identity, these folks thought that Johnson was a common skycap, not an exalted airline pilot.3 1 Interview with Roosevelt Lewis by the author at the Tuskegee Memorial Day Fly-in, Moton Field, Tuskegee, Alabama, May 28, 2011, notes in author’s files.

The act instructed the Secretary of Commerce to foster air commerce; designate and establish airways; establish, operate, and maintain aids to air navigation (but not airports); arrange for research and development to improve such aids; license pilots; issue airworthiness certificates for aircraft and major aircraft components; and investigate accidents. (See Introduction.) May 23, 1926: Western Air Express (WAE) became one of the first U.S. airlines to offer regular passenger service, flying from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City via Las Vegas. WAE had begun flying on Apr 17 as the fourth carrier to begin operations under a new air mail contract system that became the major source of income for the era's small but growing airline industry (see Jun 3, 1926). Over twelve years earlier, the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line had offered the world's first regularly scheduled airline service using heavier-than-air craft. This enterprise lasted for only the first three months of 1914. On Mar 1, 1925, T. Claude Ryan's Los Angeles-San Diego Air Line had begun the first scheduled passenger service operated wholly over the U.S.
