    Heather;
    Neat article! Just one quick question. You state,”Interestingly, on some airlines, a flight attendant’s injuries in flight can’t be officially classified as an on-duty injury unless it happens during what’s known as “extreme turbulence”—where the captain loses control of the plane or the craft sustains structural damage.” According to OSHA (Yes, I am a Health&Safety Manager) If this happens in the performance of your job it is considered a work related injury. Curious as to where you got your information?
