In 1975, National Airlines was shut down for 127 days when flight
attendants went on strike to protest long hours and low pay.
Activists at National and many other U.S. airlines sought to win
political power and material resources for people who live beyond
the boundary of the traditional family. In Deregulating Desire,
Ryan Patrick Murphy, a former flight attendant himself, chronicles
the efforts of single women, unmarried parents, lesbians and gay
men, as well as same-sex couples to make the airline industry a
crucible for social change in the decades after 1970. Murphy
situates the flight attendant union movement in the history of
debates about family and work. Each chapter offers an economic and
a cultural analysis to show how the workplace has been the primary
venue to enact feminist and LGBTQ politics. From the political
economic consequences of activism to the dynamics that facilitated
the rise of what Murphy calls the "family values economy" to the
Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Deregulating Desire emphasizes
the enduring importance of social justice for flight attendants in
the twenty-first century.
