Holiday Lift Guide: Ideas for lifting people up

With turkey leftovers crammed in the fridge, we dash into the holiday season with bells on.

Or not.

While some manage to finish their holiday shopping on Black Friday, many of us struggle to find the perfect gift for the people we love.

At Alaska, we talk a lot about lift – that gravity-defying moment when an airplane takes flight, and those small acts of kindness that turn a stressful travel experience around. This year, instead of a traditional gift guide, we’ve identified ways we can lift people up for the holidays.

The Alaska Airlines Holiday Lift Guide inspires uplifting experiences you can offer to those in your life who make yours a little easier. We believe small gestures have the power to make a big difference.

Tahoe City: Come for the world-class skiing, stay for the small-town vibe

I’d only been to the Tahoe House Bakery two times before, but the women behind the counter addressed me by my first name when I ordered a bacon cheddar scone and a decaf latte.

“Good morning, Jo.”

I smiled honestly, but nervously, caught off-guard by the familiarity and the friendliness. As I waited for my drink, I noticed she called everyone by their first names and I decided she must be a genius or a savant of some sort. Why was it so hard for me to believe someone was just friendly? Had I lived in New York and San Francisco for so long that I had forgotten what genuinely friendly people acted like?

It’s a vibe I’ve felt over and over since moving to Tahoe City, California for the winter. For years, my husband and I had visited for the skiing, but we recently moved for six months to enjoy the small town feel and slower pace of life. Maybe I did want strangers to call me by my first name.

When you think of iconic ski towns, you typically envision Park City, Aspen or Jackson Hole. That’s fair. But Tahoe City should be on the list too. In fact, it should be high up on the list and congratulated for its more low-key sensibilities. Despite the town’s modesty, there are few places in the world where you can ski 10 very different resorts within an hour of where you’re staying. And with a growing population, Tahoe City is home to a vibrant local community that offers so much more than just skiing and snowboarding.

Hawaiian Airlines Celebrates 90th Year of Service with Giving Campaign

HA Group Aircraft

HONOLULU – Non-profit agencies across the state will feel the gratitude of Hawaiian Airlines and its employees throughout 2019 with a company-matched employee giving program celebrating the airline’s 90th year of service in the Hawaiian Islands.

The airline, which introduced commercial air service to Hawai’i in 1929, recognized the milestone by commencing the company-wide pledge program on Nov. 12, the day after its 89th birthday. When employees donate to any Aloha United Way affiliated charity, as well as the Polynesian Voyaging Society, the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, and the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, Hawaiian is matching the first $90,000 raised. After one week, employees and members of the company’s Board of Directors have already pledged $59,000, or $118,000 when matched by the airline.

The special anniversary drive is being held throughout the year. Donations and the corresponding company match will be provided to the charities monthly beginning in February 2019.

“We are very proud of our legacy as Hawaii’s first airline, and I am extremely proud of the generosity and aloha our 7,200-strong employee ‘ohana demonstrates on a regular basis and particularly during the inaugural week of our charity drive,” said Peter Ingram, Hawaiian Airlines president and CEO. “Pledges came from every department across our company. I am certain we will reach our goal, and I look forward to it.”

The 90th year of service fundraiser is in addition to $300,000 in sponsorships and grants Hawaiian provides annually through the company’s Team Kōkua giving program and another $100,000 distributed by the Hawaiian Airlines Foundation. So far this year, the company has provided 4.5 million miles in matching donations to 12 Hawai‘i non-profits participating in the Hawaiian Miles Charities program, while Team Kōkua volunteers have logged more than 8,000 hours helping non-profits throughout Hawaiian’s route network.

The selected charities align with Hawaiian’s four giving pillars: education, health and human services, environment and culture, and each of the charities are recognized stewards in their fields.

“We are honored to partner with Hawaiian Airlines as they commence their 90th year of service here in Hawaii and truly appreciate their commitment to the preservation and perpetuation of the unique natural and cultural heritage of our islands,” said Kawika Burgess, CEO of the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, which protects more than 18,000 acres of Hawai‘i’s most precious land and natural resources from Ka‘ū on the Island of Hawai‘i to Hanalei on Kaua‘i. “With Hawaiian Airlines' continued support, we look forward to ensuring that our most precious resources in each district on each island are there for future generations!”

“We are humbled to be part of this partnership where Hawaiian Airlines employees have the opportunity to donate directly to any of AUW’s 338 Partner Agencies that help families, coworkers and neighbors,” said Aloha United Way (AUW) President and CEO Cindy Adams, whose organization has helped address Hawai‘i’s most pressing community needs for nearly 100 years. “It is especially meaningful in their 90th year of service that Hawaiian wants to give back to the community that has supported them.”

The Bishop Museum, the state’s largest museum, said funds will be used to help “preserve, protect, and perpetuate the rich cultural and natural legacy of our islands today and for generations to come,” said Melanie Ide, Bishop Museum president and CEO.

“Mahalo to our longstanding partner and supporter Hawaiian Airlines – we are thrilled to be a part of this special milestone and are honored to be amongst an important group of joint beneficiaries dedicated to our islands’ economic, social and environmental sustainability,” Ide said. “Bishop Museum is the home to over 25 million objects and specimens representing Hawai‘i and the Pacific — each with its own story of evolution and extinction, of sustainability and heritage, of the wisdom of our kūpuna and the legacies of our ali‘i.”

Hawaiian is once again joining hands with the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) after sponsoring its historic Mālama Honua (to care for our Island Earth) Worldwide Voyage. Last year, PVS concluded a four-year journey around the planet by the voyaging canoe Hōkūle‘a, whose crew sailed over 50,000 nautical miles to 28 countries to spread a message of sustainability.

“On behalf of the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s crew and staff, I want to congratulate Hawaiian Airlines on 90 years of service and giving. We are proud and honored to partner with a company with such a strong commitment to Hawaii’s culture, place and people,” said Nainoa Thompson, president of the Polynesian Voyaging Society. “We are extremely grateful for the support that Hawaiian Airlines has given PVS over the years as a major sponsor of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage and now for selecting PVS as a recipient of the ‘90 Years of Giving' campaign. Mahalo to all of the Hawaiian Airlines employees for believing in the mission of voyaging and mālama honua.”

Hawaiian’s giving campaign is only the beginning of a year of celebratory activities as the airline counts down to its 90th birthday and commemorates the legacy of its visionary founder, Stanley C. Kennedy.

A World War I Navy pilot, Kennedy believed air travel would one day overtake the family’s ships as the primary mode of transportation between the Hawaiian Islands. In the spring of 1928, he convinced the board of Inter-Island Steam Navigation to purchase a five-passenger Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker monoplane and, on Oct. 6, 1929, began offering sightseeing tours of O‘ahu to familiarize residents with flying.

Within a month, on Nov. 11, 1929, the first scheduled Inter-Island Airways Sikorsky S-38 aircraft departed then-John Rodgers Airport in Honolulu for a flight to Maui and then Hilo – officially marking the beginning of commercial aviation in Hawaii.

“It is gratifying to report that our efforts to give the public a better service has been appreciated,” Kennedy wrote in the company’s first annual report, when the airline transported 13,043 guests, including 2,676 who enjoyed the Bellanca tours. “The large number of passengers that we have carried between the various islands clearly shows the public’s response to our endeavors.”

Today, Hawaiian welcomes an average of 32,000 passengers on a single day – over 11.5 million residents and visitors annually – with a modern fleet of 65 aircraft operating in a robust network of neighbor island, U.S. mainland and international flights connecting the Hawaiian Islands to destinations stretching from New Zealand to Japan and New York, and soon Boston. Over the course of its history, Hawaiian has carried nearly 279 million passengers to, from and between the Hawaiian Islands.

‘It starts at the top’

Wāhine Carrying the Torch at Hawaiian Airlines

The Women in Aviation employee resource group during the 2018 Summer Leadership Series with President and CEO Peter Ingram

It’s the dawn of a new day, and we’re seeing more wāhine (women – pronounced waah-he-nay) than ever taking on some of the most challenging roles in the aviation industry.

According to Women in Aviation International, 42,694 women make up seven percent of today’s pilot force, an increase of 7,000 since 2000, when only three percent of pilots were women. And in non-pilot positions such as dispatcher, flight attendant, mechanic, engineer, 29 percent (or 195,993 workers) are women in 2018.  At Hawaiian Airlines, we were in the forefront of women in aviation with the first all-women crew flying in 1979, and we still encourage our fellow wāhine to reach high.

We wanted to take a moment to recognize these ladies for their hard work and showcase a handful of the 3,515 female employees who carry our ‘ohana to great heights as Hawaii’s airline. Keep reading to meet some of the proud wāhine of Hawaiian Airlines.

Women in Aviation Rockstars

Started in Summer 2017, Hawaiian Airlines’ Women in Aviation employee resource group works year-round to grow opportunities for women currently in the industry or those interested in it. Some of the biggest events they organize each year include:

  • Women in Aviation Month (March)
  • Habitat for Humanity Build Day as part of Habitat’s National Women Build Week (May)
  • Public Speaking Workshop with John Holman, director of the Pacific for the U.S. Commercial Service (May)
  • 2018 Summer Leadership Series with Hawaiian Airlines’ President and CEO Peter Ingram, former President and CEO Mark Dunkerley and Korea Country Director Soojin Yu
  • Girls in Aviation Day (October)

“Wāhine in Aviation’s mission is to promote the encouragement, networking, and advancement of current and future generations of women in all aviation career fields and interests,” shared the group’s vice president, Kanani Kealoha-Faleafine, a manager of loyalty services and a former Kahului Airport ramp agent at Hawaiian Airlines.

The group started small with only 25 employees and has since grown to 125 active, contributing members!

The Future Female Leaders of Hawaii’s Aviation Industry

In celebration of the fourth annual International Girls in Aviation Day (October 13), our Women in Aviation employee group invited 20 high school teenagers throughout O‘ahu to get a special behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work in the aviation industry. The event, which kicked off in Hawai‘i two years ago and has since been hosted at Hawaiian Airlines, is a unique mentorship opportunity for youth looking to enter the field before their careers take flight.

Throughout the course of 2018’s Girls in Aviation Day, the group dove deep into the critical roles that contribute to our award-winning service, toured the new Charles I. Elliott Maintenance and Cargo Facility and networked with some of the most passionate wāhine in our company, from aircraft mechanics to pilots.

The cherry on the cake: our historic Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker, the airplane that started it all for Hawaiian Airlines, made her big debut at the end of the day. The group took the ultimate selfies in front of the aircraft and got to explore its six-passenger cabin.

“Girls in Aviation Day at Hawaiian Airlines was one for the books. It’s fantastic to see such an incredible amount of interest in roles that, for decades, have been mostly done by men,” shared Katelyn Shelly, president of the Wāhine in Aviation employee resource group and senior manager of the commercial project management team. “We firmly believe that these girls are the future of our aviation industry, and I hope to see them carrying the torch at Hawaiian Airlines in the next several years!”

Wāhine  Taking the OGG Ramp by Storm*

Ramp Services is one of the most physically demanding jobs in aviation. Ramp agents handle heavy luggage and cargo and operate large pieces of equipment with precision in a wide spectrum of weather conditions: hot and humid temperatures, rain, wind, and noise.

Hawaiian Airlines currently employs more than 540 ramp personnel, of which 100 work at our Maui hub at Kahului Airport (OGG). Traditionally, men have fulfilled this role. However, in recent years, the number of women joining the ramp ranks has been growing. Three years ago, one in 30 ramp agents was female; that ratio is now one in five.

Our female ramp agents at OGG represent a strong team – proud of their work and hometown station. When asked to offer some words of wisdom and on how to succeed in this role, they offered up the following: 

  • Our job is very physical in terms of moving bags and cargo, but the care for and safety of our guests and colleagues is always top-of-mind. The proper placement of bags in the belly of the aircraft is important in maintaining its correct weight and balance.
  • We communicate constantly with all parts of the operation. This is in addition to moving bags and equipment around. We talk to Maintenance, Cargo, Guest Services, to name a few. People who master communication on the ramp can communicate anywhere.
  • We are proud of the work we do. If you build the “perfect stack,” then no bags will fall between the aircraft and bag belt. It’s like building a rock wall, where placement of every piece matters. Working hard on the task in front of you will save extra work in the future. Everyone should think five steps ahead.
  • We know it’s okay to be scared and being vulnerable is ok. Especially as new-hires, it’s natural to be afraid. Being scared may be a good thing because if you’re scared, it means you care. 
  • We work through our fears and challenge ourselves. What you are capable of will surprise you.
  • We take care of our team, regardless of tenure. Team members need support and guidance to become stronger. Remind everyone of what they need to do (i.e., wear your seatbelts). It’s like with your kids when you teach them to brush their teeth. They don’t like being reminded, but it’s necessary for them to learn.  
  • We know that it doesn’t matter if you are male or female, as long as you can perform your tasks well. The team is only as strong as its weakest link. Take care of your team, don’t be lazy, and do your work out of love.

A Pilot’s Calling

Our Airbus A330 Captain Kendall “Kiki” Culler was interviewed by the New Zealand Herald for her tremendous 34-year career in the aviation industry. During her interview, she shared, “I remember when I got interviewed for the job by the chief pilot [at Hawaiian Airlines], I walked through the door and he said, ‘we love women pilots’. I think it’s because Hawaiian had good success with women pilots and recognized their value.”

Pualani Proud

Last but not least, you’re likely to have seen the welcoming smile and proud gaze of Pualani – the face of Hawaiian Airlines on our aircraft tails – gracing the sky. Known as “Flower of the Sky,” Pualani is a distinct symbol of our 89-year history, and one of the few feminine figures to front an airline.

Pualani has always been our beacon of Hawaiian hospitality. Contrary to popular belief, she was not modeled after any of the Miss Hawai‘i winners. Her strong presence and features were conceptualized as a real-life representation of our company’s mission and aloha for the Islands.

While her appearance has changed throughout the years, she remains a promise to our guests that we offer something no other airline can – the warmth, care and generosity that are hallmarks of our culture of ho’okipa (Hawaiian hospitality).

A West Coast pub at cruising altitude

Whether I’m traveling for business or pleasure, I look for ways to relax and enjoy my time in the air, which typically involves enjoying a cold craft beer and a snack. Lucky for me, Alaska Airlines’ beer menu offers nothing but craft beer. The company’s rotating West Coast brews – along with a new line of feel-good retail snacks – pleases a variety of palates with a range of choices.

When considering beer and snack options, I approach my decisions the same way whether on the ground or in the air. I peruse the beer menu, make my decision and then look for a snack to accompany the flavor attributes of my beer. As I whiz across the sky at cruising altitude, I want to feel like I’m relaxing at the local pub.

Honoring veterans: A message from Horizon Air COO and former Black Hawk pilot

Constance von Muehlen was appointed chief operating officer at Alaska Airlines on April 3, 2021. Read more.

As an officer and Black Hawk pilot in the U.S. Army, Constance von Muehlen commanded an Apache Air Cavalry Troop. Today she leads the Horizon Air team as Chief Operating Officer. Constance is a fantastic leader, focused on safety, service, respect and providing opportunities for others, especially veterans.

By Constance von Muehlen, Horizon Air COO

At 7 years old, I saw a helicopter take off and decided I wanted to pilot those amazing machines! I am grateful that, with a lot of determination, support, and luck – including an ROTC scholarship – my dream came true. Flying for the U.S. Army taught me the power of working together, that serving is as essential as leading and – perhaps most importantly – that each person brings a unique value to the team. I am extremely proud to be among those at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air who have served our country.

New Anchorage hangar built to house two of our largest 737s

Flying Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft in the Last Frontier has its challenges: inclement weather, remote locations, the occasional seal or caribou occupying the runway. But with over 86 years of flying experience, we’re pretty adept at meeting challenges.

This is especially true when it comes to making sure our aircraft are maintained with a focus on safety and performance. To meet the rigors of flying in Alaska and beyond, we unveiled a brand new Maintenance and Engineering Facility in Anchorage, Alaska this week.
