Ok.... so per the latest TalkMail I wrote out my Bio and tried to paste in the "bio" box on my profile and realized that it only allows you like a sentence ... I didn't want to waste what I wrote so here it is.....

I have worked in the airline industry since I was 19 (yep… over 14 years now). I started as a CSR at the SFO airport with America West. I worked for a while in SEA and SJC (worked the CO contract in both) as well.

After about 4 years I went to Las Vegas to start up National Airlines. Now that was an experience. I learned a lot (I was the 92nd employee) and was working there until the end. I worked at the airport and then moved into corporate. It was in Las Vegas that I discovered FT (thanks chanelcinq) and I did a few “do’s” in SAN and ORD. Don’t know if anyone remembers but I was the one who got those N7 lounge passes that were raffled off at a couple of parties. I got so caught up in FT that I did a few mileage runs even though I could fly for next to nothing. It gave me enough miles to get to Rio for Carnival and I had Gold status on CO for a bit.

After N7 closed its doors I went to work for Hawaiian (corporate) in HNL. That was not only a huge change in living but also working. I loved HA and Hawaii but after about 3 years I got island fever. It was also about this time that I met my partner in Sydney (I met him while I was helping HA open the SYD station). Mid 2006 we took leaves from our work and traveled for about 4 months through Southeast Asia. I quit my job with HA and we ended up settling in Hong Kong (he was born there). After a year in HK we were over it, especially his work since he was working in a company that was very much “Chinese way” of over working/under appreciative. We have now been in Sydney since November of 2007 and I’m working on getting an Australian Visa so I can work here….Hopefully I can get my wings back… Maybe V Australia, Qantas, or hey… back to the HA ohana!
