For four days in November of 1993, while flight attendants of what was then one of the country’s largest carriers picketed at airports, American’s flights departed without any passengers on board. Flight Attendants stood together as one voice from Hawaii to San Juan, from Los Angeles to New York, and as captives in deep Latin America, Europe, and Japan to demand a fair contract. The strike concluded with the intervention of the White House calling both parties back to the negotitions table.
