(Ling) Ethnographies of work on airline crew?

[Leila Monaghan]

Less linguistic but useful for the gender dimensions are:

Working the Skies: The Fast-Paced, Disorienting World of the Flight Attendant
Drew Whitelegg, NYU Press, Jun 1, 2007.

Femininity in Flight.  Kathleen Barry. Duke University Press, 2007.

William Leap also had an article on the language of a gay flight
attendant that I don't have the reference to off hand.  (Bill, are you
in this discussion?  Do you have the reference handy?)
