That was decades ago and they could not duplicate it today. It is loaded with AA employees getting in the way of the few people who still wish to work.

I have a (liberal) friend who pointed something out to me.

In the movie Apollo 13, did you notice that there is exactly ONE black cast member?

No, not some engineer smoking and using a slide rule at Mission Control.

The black cast member is a reporter asking a question.

And rumor has it that Ron Howard was scared of being called a racist so he created even that ONE character. Lest the whole movie being condemned as some "white guy's" wet dream of accomplishment.

max americana can correct me if my friend was wrong, but I DON'T remember any other AA's being portrayed.

Shocking, because I know several AA engineers. And they trend strongly conservative.

Maybe they just weren't so visible in 1970.
