In any job, each employee has a role to play. On a plane, the pilot is in charge of getting passengers to their destination safely. Sky marshals carry that same responsibility. Sky marshals keep order on planes so the pilots and crew can do their jobs. If a medical emergency occurs mid-flight, or if passengers become unruly, sky marshals step in and resolve the situation to protect the rest of the passengers.
Suppose two passengers engage in an argument that turns physical. A sky marshal would act as a mediator, a higher authority who can take action if the argument persists. Sky marshals receive training in a number of areas such as mediation, physical restraint, and how to keep order in the cramped quarters of a aircraft traveling 30,000 feet above the ground.
