What has Hawaiian’s CEO done to create a rift between him and his employees?

- Out of touch
- Whipsawed line service and the rampers into one group and restarted them on year 1 pay. Half of them quit and now we can’t get out on time because the planes are never loaded, serviced, lr lack a crew to push
- Never seen on the front lines or interacting with the employees
- COVID
- Lacks charisma
- No vision, jumps over dollars to save pennies

I didn’t think there was much but that is actually a pretty good start.

Focuses more on woke initiatives than trying to turn a profit.
The never ending we are ohana diatribes which are words, not actions.

It’s probably time. He deserves a resignation opportunity in my eyes. CoVid lines drawn may decide where you are on that matter.

You’re right SWA/Alaska makes much more sense and seems much more likely.

SWA/AS not happening either….Zero interest for a merger from either CEO

On the call today Ingram said that they are renewing/extending the 330 leases (4) that were originally up next year to cover the 321 engine issues and continue to focus on Japan as load factors are almost near pre-COVID levels sitting at 90%. Sounds like the company won’t be affected too bad as they have P&W Loaners in their possession that they aren’t giving back and a good amount of the 321NEOs have already undergone the repairs/checks that are required by the recall over the last several months. He said we’ve already seen the worst of it and shouldn’t have more than 4 down (our current number) at a time and it should decrease through the second half of 2024.

Frank717 seems to know more about the 321s than our CEO…

Seems like we’ll still be profitable in the next few quarters. 8-10 years of cash at similar losses and outstanding debt based on basic math calculations and cash available. That’s Without American Airlines type debt restructuring.

Don’t kill the messenger.

the original number in the first article read that nine aircraft would be down. That’s 50% of your current fleet according to Wiki. At present, you’re down 4/18.

I did add the qualifier “unless they find a solution” too. Refusing to return loaner engines is definitely a solution.

Finally, your CEO is going to tell everyone the company will be (or is) profitable until the day they declare bankruptcy. I’ve seen it and been in it.
Personally, literally a week before our CEO said “we haven’t discussed bankruptcy”, next week front page news.

Apparently from previous post, there is little love loss for your CEO and almost no trust, but that’s industry standard.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to step on toes, I just read article that seem to show major issues with A321 Neos around the world. And the problems continue for P&W.
