      Pros

      Flying benefits/ Medical plan/ Desirable hours/ Great Work environment

      Cons

      For Employee- Standing by should be confirmed instead on a limited or earned basis For Customers- Seniors should not be standing i the same line as others they should have a zip lane so that they are not standing for long periods of time. That might alleviate so many wheel chair persons.

      Advice to Management

      Please evaluate flight benefits as a perk to years of service or employee incentive for attendance, years of service gifting /For Employee- Standing by should be confirmed instead on a limited or earned basis For Customers- Seniors should not be standing i the same line as others they should have a zip lane so that they are not standing for long periods of time.

      I worked at Hawaiian Airlines full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Mostly cool co-workers; Ability to travel IF you can get a day off OR even get on

      Cons

      Executives suck! Managers suck! Locals are ALL labor workers - none of them have any say in the operations. All mainland people coming in and taking jobs from hard working locals.

      Advice to Management

      Quit treating your employees like trash! You've let go MANY great employees all because "someone" didn't like them. Seriously! You've caused chaos and emotional turmoil for hardworking people who dedicated years to this company only to be blindsided with unethical lies about their job performance.
