FAFAP / FLIGHT ATTENDANT FINANCIAL ASSAULT PEACE
OUR MISSION
Most travelers never see what happens after a flight attendant is assaulted. Behind every uniform is a human being who may be facing injury, trauma, lost wages, and time away from the career they love.
FAFAP stands for Flight Attendant Financial Assault Peace. Its mission is to help flight attendants recover physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially when they are off the wing.
WHY THIS MATTERS

OFF THE WING’S STORY
After being physically and sexually assaulted by a passenger while working aboard a commercial airliner, Off the Wing began turning a terrible experience into something beautiful: a mission to help other flight attendants through recovery.
OFF THE WING FOUNDER / FLIGHT ATTENDANT
THE PURPOSE
Off the Wing is being built around a simple belief: no flight attendant should have to choose between the healing and paying their bills.
01 Relief from immediate financial pressure
02 Dignity during physical and emotional recovery
03 A reminder that no flight attendant stands alone
We Are All On the Same Team.
