United Airlines is now training flight attendants to intervene when passengers watch pornography on their personal devices as part of an effort to curb the increase of porn viewing on airplanes, according to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
United flight attendants alerted the nonprofit watchdog that their airline last month began providing new training on topics of pornography and sexual harassment.
A United Airlines spokesperson confirmed to NCOSE that the new training is taking place.
“The safety of our customers and colleagues is our top priority. Sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, intimidation or predation have absolutely no place anywhere in our society — including, and especially, in our industry and on our aircraft,” a United Airlines statement shared with NCOSE reads.
“In 2018, we strengthened our training for flight attendants to recognize, address and respond to instances of sexual harassment of any kind onboard our aircraft and will continue to adapt and enhance this training moving forward.”
NCOSE listed United Airlines on its 2019 “Dirty Dozen List” of “mainstream” companies and entities considered to be “facilitators of sexual exploitation in our society and culture.”
Among NCOSE’s concerns was that United Airlines employees were ill-prepared to “address the growing problem of viewing pornography on airplanes.”
