1971 Pressed by the Association of Flight attendants, courts prohibit airlines from refusing to hire males and find the no-marriage rule illegal.
1974 Court rules Northwest Airlines must pay females the same scale as males.
1975 Association of Flight Attendants challenges requirement that flight attendants stop working upon pregnancy.
