Airlines rehiring fired stewardesses now mothers
Air line workers who lost jobs for pregnancy return as mothers after a 1965 EEOC settlement with TWA and American Airlines. About 400 women, oldest 45, have been rehired at original seniority. They cite improved readiness, travel benefits, and renewed confidence, boosted by reduced flights and family needs.

L A Airport tests noise curb pattern over ocean approach
Hifiven commercial jetliners tested a nighttime noise reduction pattern at Los Angeles International Airport by landing west to east over the ocean. The FAA and Department of Airports approved the plan last month, aiming to cut noise for Inglewood and nearby neighborhoods from midnight to 7 AM. Proponents say 40 daily flights could be shifted, while opponents warn of more noise for Marina Del Rey. FAA officials reported no complaints on the first day, and the study will run until evaluators conclude.

Ex-stewardesses sue for back pay and seniority losses
About 30 former stewardesses continued litigation against MWA and American Airlines seeking full back pay and accrued seniority. Other carriers offered varied support for rehiring. United says it will rehire pregnant workers who apply and meet normal requirements but won’t grant preference. Continental notes it has rehired since 1966 and invites pregnancies workers back, excluding earlier cases. A National Airlines spokesperson dismissed extensive rehiring as impractical, warning of aging crews if extended to 1965 or earlier.
