Alaska Airlines updating anti-harassment policy
In the wake of separate incidents involving passengers and pilots, Alaska Airlines is updating its sexual assault and harassment policy and procedures.
In a blog post CEO Brad Tilden says there will be new training for flight attendants with a sexual assault element added to recurrent training which has been devised with input from RAINN, the largest anti-sexual violence organization, and the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center.
Additional training for all employees using a research-based approach will be conducted, along with onboard procedures to see how ‘guests can support one another and our crews.’
"To be clear, sexual harassment and assault have absolutely no place in our workplace, on board our flights, or any place."
The airline was criticized last year for allowing a passenger to make ‘lewd sexual remarks’ to a female flyer, and Alaska Airlines pilot Betty Pina filed a lawsuit against the airline over allegations of rape by a male colleague.
