From African American pilots being asked to carry people’s luggage to patrons refusing drinks from black flight attendants, Cabin Pressure demonstrates that racism is still very much alive in the “friendly skies.” The book draws on interviews with African Americans in the flight industry to examine the emotional labor involved in a business that offers prestige, but also a history that excludes people of color.
