Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Albatross SIG] Reminder: Albatrosses seminar, 4/29, Meyer on Black Airline Pilots
The Albatrosses Aerospace History Seminar will meet again at 4:00 p.m. EST on April 29, 2021, when Alan Meyer of Auburn University will welcome comments
and feedback on his paper, “‘Last Hired and First Fired’: The First Generation of Black Airline Pilots, 1963-1978.”
This paper, from Alan's current book project Flying While Black, focuses on the first generation of African Americans airline pilots after a groundbreaking 1963
Supreme Court decision forced the airline industry to end de jure racially discriminatory hiring practices. By 1978, fifteen years after the first was hired, there were still only 113 Black pilots working for major U.S. passenger airlines, a statical drop
in the bucket (just 0.25 percent) in the overall workforce. Analyzing the backgrounds and experiences of these pioneering individuals reveals how supposedly race-neutral job qualifications remained a barrier for many other prospective Black pilots and helps
explain the continued lack of diversity in the cockpit.
For security reasons, please email seanseyer@ku.edu to preregister. The pre-circulated paper and conference Zoom link will be provided
a week prior to the scheduled date.
If you are interested in receiving feedback at a future meeting of the Albatrosses Aerospace History Seminar on a scholarly work-in-progress related
to any aspect of aviation or space history, please contact seanseyer@ku.edu
All the best,
Assistant Professor, University of Kansas

Yeah, the 4th Thursday is the 22nd as the 1st is a Thursday, so that's what I have in my calendar. But since you are committed to the 29th, when will the announcement be
out?
