Council 43 Update – April 5, 2026

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

Easter is a time to celebrate life and renewal, and gives us an opportunity to reflect on what is important to us.

This Easter many of our hearts are heavy with thoughts of friends we lost too soon. With our busy lives and so many changes at work, it can be easy to overlook the little things that mean a lot to us. This Easter is a gentle reminder to take a moment to cherish every story, laugh, and hug we share with one another – the memories we will keep forever.

May this Easter bring you and your loved one’s peace and joy.

In Solidarity,

Martin Gusman & Kela Chong
