This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen heroes who gave everything for our country.

With many veterans among our pilot group, we carry their legacy with deep pride and gratitude.

Today, and every day, we honor and remember.

Hawaiian Airlines pilots extend our deepest sympathies to the employees of Spirit Airlines, as it discontinued operations today after 33 years of service. We are devastated by the impact this will have on thousands of Spirit employees and their families, including 2,000 of our fellow ALPA pilots.

To help assist our industry colleagues through this difficult period, the Hawaiian MEC today approved a resolution urging management to offer priority consideration to former Spirit Airlines pilot applicants, along with expedited placement in future new hire classes.

Alaska & Hawaiian Airlines will also be providing extended travel privileges to affected pilots and flight attendants over the coming weeks, to help ensure our peers are able to make it home smoothly.

Hawaiian pilots stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Spirit and will do our best to provide support in whatever way we can.

Today, the HAL MEC unanimously elected three MEC Officers for upcoming two-year terms beginning May 6, 2026. Capt. Larry Payne was re-elected for his fourth term as MEC Chair. Capt. John Crabbe was elected as Vice Chair and Capt. Mathias Lundblad was re-elected as Secretary-Treasurer. Capt. Rob Willoughby, who previously served as MEC Vice Chair, will be assuming a newly created position as the MEC’s Executive Administrator, continuing his current work assisting the MEC and our pilots.

This leadership team will represent more than 1,200 Hawaiian pilots as joint collective bargaining agreement (JCBA) negotiations continue with Alaska Airlines management. The MEC Representatives thank all who volunteered to serve and recognize the time, effort, and sacrifice required to give back to our pilot group.

The Alaska and Hawaiian Master Executive Councils recently hosted coffee sits in Seattle and parking lot sits in Honolulu to share updates on joint collective bargaining agreement negotiations and hear directly from line pilots. Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, and shared input.

Negotiations have been underway for over a year, and while significant progress has been made, the pace has slowed as final items remain unresolved. Union representatives and other volunteers will continue providing opportunities for pilots to connect with their union and stay informed as we reach this critical stage in negotiations.
