Scott, Mahi, and DeAngelo researched the history of labor in the aviation industry. They first look into the PATCO strikes of 1981 and examined them and their picketing protests for better conditions. They compare these strikes to today’s aviation industry and the American Airlines flight attendants' picket lines for better conditions, pay, and time off as well. Although PATCO went on strike, the flight attendants couldn’t due to federal laws and mediation going on. While both picket lines and strikes happened at different times, these hosts compare the two and look into similarities and differences.
