This letter is written in response to an article in the April 17 edition regarding the Aloha Airlines Explorers Program.
It is sad to see such a fantastic program like this come to an end. Looking back at my days as an Aloha Explorer,
I can remember the great learning experiences, the excellent career guidance and, most of all, the wonderful
employees of the airline.
Our program advisers generously volunteered their own time every week to mentor aspiring future employees
of the aviation industry. My fellow explorers and I couldn't have asked for better role models.
Their level of dedication to the program was evident in their decision to keep the program running
until the graduation ceremony, despite the closure of the airline on March 31.
It had always been a dream of mine to fly for Aloha Airlines and rejoin the Explorers program as an
adviser so that I could give back to the airline that inspired me to be a pilot.
Great job, guys! Thank you, Aloha Airlines, for all the fun memories.
