Shauna Smith alleges that passenger Reginald Hatcher made her feel uncomfortable soon after boarding the April 26 evening flight, Fox 59 reports. Eventually, Smith claims she caught a flight attendant’s eye, and the staffer was able to intervene. As noted by Fox 59, members of the crew aboard flight from Florida to Indiana were employed by Republic Airlines, which was operating under American Airlines. To that end, in January, the Trump administration launched the National In-Flight Sexual Misconduct Task Force, a new subcommittee of the Aviation Consumer Protection Advisory Committee (ACPAC.) “It will also provide recommendations to the ACPAC on best practices relating to training, reporting, and data collection regarding incidents of sexual misconduct by passengers onboard commercial aircraft.”
