The papers of AFA-Dallas were placed in the Archives of
Labor and Urban Affairs in 1980 and were opened for research in 1993.
In 1945 a group of United Airline stewardesses formed the
first independent union for flight attendants--the Air Line Stewardesses
Association. Several similar
groups followed their lead through the 1940s, most of which were affiliated
with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). The Stewards and Stewardesses Division broke off from ALPA
in 1973 and began calling itself the Association of Flight Attendants, a union
which in 1981 represented approximately 22,000 members.
The AFA-Dallas papers contain negotiations notes,
agreements, budgets, flight attendant pairing schedules, and other material
relating mostly to the international union from the 1950s to 1980.
