Though many might dismiss the role of a flight attendant or an air hostess, this story will throw much-needed light on some of the heavy responsibilities these women carry on their shoulders every day. A flight attendant named Sheila Frederick rescued a victim of human trafficking recently. Yes, human trafficking. The flight attendant informed the pilots, who were then able to communicate the message to the police in San Francisco, and the man was arrested as soon as the flight landed. This incident of rescue comes amid increased efforts since 2009 to train American flight staff to recognise signs of human trafficking and call them out.
