Alaska Airlines Crew to Receive In-Air Sexual Harassment Training

Right now, it may seem like you cannot read a newspaper, watch the news, or use social media without encountering a new sexual harassment case almost every day. If learning the details of any of these cases, or even the sheer volume of them in recent months, is something you find unsettling, imagine how it would feel if you were the victim. Alaska Airlines, recognizing that sexual harassment has become something of an epidemic that will only be stopped with action, has announced that all employees are to be trained in preventing either themselves, their colleagues, or passengers from experiencing sexual harassment or sexual assault mid-flight.

The announcement comes several months after several sexual harassment incidents occurred on board Alaska Airlines flights. Chief Executive Brad Tilden, while making the announcement, stated that he wanted to be extremely clear that sexual harassment or assault had no place in the airline, whether it involved passengers or crew. According to Tilden’s recent statement, the training offered to employees will include a sexual assault scenario, created by a Seattle sexual assault resource center, and RAINN.
