Alaska Airlines CEO has announced a string of new initiatives to up its staff training in sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention.

It comes following claims  Randi Zuckerburg was sexually harassed while onboard an Alaska flight, and allegations a pilot was drugged and raped by an Alaska captain.

CEO Brad Tilden posted on the airline’s website outlining the new program, which will include a focus on training flight attendants in sexual assault scenarios.

“We’re developing training for all employees aimed at preventing sexual harassment and assault, and other forms of harassment, with a research-based approach, focused on the impact of individual choices to shift social norms,” Tilden said in the post.

“And we’re developing onboard resources to clarify how guests can support one another and our crews.”

“Every day, we see examples of how you look out for each other and for our employees.  We want to do our part to help make sure this continues.”

The industry has been grappling with how to treat sexual harassment and assault of employees and guests for a while now, and as with most industries, the MeToo movement has helped to shed light on the issue.

According to Tilden, the new policies should make it easier for passengers to report inappropriate behaviour.

“To be clear, sexual harassment and assault have absolutely no place in our workplace, on board our flights, or any place,” he added.
