Abstract
Studies into international airlines have made important advances in our understanding of gender and diversity in management. While the flight attendant profession was initially a male one, it has evolved into a female-dominated profession. Today, images of the sexy stewardess and the heroic pilot permeate popular culture. The gendered nature of the airline industry serves various analyses on discriminatory workplace practices, traditional heteronormative gender processes and the (re)production of inequalities.
