Let's go Back to the Future!


Aloha everyone!

So since my last post WWWWWAAAAAYYYYYY back in 2016, a lot of things have happened.

On 10 November 2017, the company that I dedicated 14 years to as a dispatcher, went bankrupt!!! That was not pretty and boy there were many of rough times after that. I won't go into the details of WHY we went bankrupt, it's all out there in on the internet for people to pull up. Safe to say there are a few people who are responsible of it happening. but, i digress...

After a few months of collecting on the local and state unemployment insurance that i had paid into for many years, and after many oh so many job apps to various airlines that hired licensed aircraft dispatchers, I finally got an answer from my hometown airlines, Hawaiian Airlines!! Funny how things happen, I've applied numerous times to Hawaiian in various capacities but it took 34 years to get hired on with them. I am truly grateful and humbled that they selected me. But, now we enter into another time of uncertainty, COVID-19!

After being here for one year and ten months, my job along with many of my fellow dispatchers jobs here at Hawaiian may be on the chopping block. Don't know what the future holds for our airline, our state and the tourism economy here and our country, but all I can do is pray and hope for the best. I know our management is doing their upmost best to mitigate the economic damage the virus has caused to our airline financially, and that's all anyone can ask.

I'm gonna try to keep up with this blog as much as I can. I've had fun doing it before, but life just got in the way.

Aloha to you all who have come to this site and read my blog.

Please be safe, take care and respect each other.
