Me ka hiki ʻana mai o kahi mokulele mokulele Southwest Airlines ma Hawaii, ua loli mau paha ka mākaʻikaʻi no ka Aloha Mokuʻāina. Me nā kaukani o ka hōʻea hou ʻana i Hawaiʻi i kēlā me kēia lā, ua hāʻule nā kumukūʻai mokulele, e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka huakaʻi no nā mea he nui. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻokumu ka mākaʻikaʻi lehulehu ma Hawaiʻi i ka hoʻoweliweli ʻike ʻia o ka mākaʻikaʻi nui no nā mokupuni.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Overtourism i kahi kūkākūkā e kāpae i ka AIRBNB e pale aku i ka piʻi ʻana o ka hoʻolimalima a me ka pilikia home ʻole ma ka mokuʻāina.
He nui nā makahiki lōʻihi e haʻalele ana i ka mokuʻāina no ka pane ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi nui.
Ma Pepeluali 7, 2019, eTurboNews ninau ina he palekana no ka Southwest Airlines e lele mai ka US Mainland a i Hawaii ma ka mokulele Boeing 737-800.
No ka lele lōʻihi ma luna o ka Pākīpika, pono e loaʻa i ka Southwest Airlines kahi palapala hōʻoia ETOPS ma kahi mokulele 2-engine.
ʻO ka maʻamau, koi ʻo FAA ma kahi o 1.5 mau makahiki o ka hana pilikia ʻole e hoʻopuka i kahi palapala hōʻoia. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia no ka 787 me kekahi mau pōʻino kokoke i ka wā mua.
Ua pane aku kahi ʻōlelo a Boeing i ka eTN i Pepeluali 2019: "Ke hōʻole nei mākou i ka ʻōlelo a komo i kāu moʻolelo."
ʻIke ʻia ua hoʻopuka ʻia ʻo Boeing ma hope o ka nīnau ʻana o eTN i ka palekana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mokulele i hoʻolālā ʻia no nā mokulele pōkole a me waena no kahi ala hele lōʻihi ma luna o ka wai. ʻO ka Boeing 737 ka mea i ʻike mua ʻia ma ke ʻano he "City Jet" no nā mokulele ke kūlanakauhale pōkole o ke kūlanakauhale pōkole.
E hoʻomanaʻo, he ʻoihana waiwai ʻo Southwest, ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo a kahi mea heluhelu.
I kēia lā ka nīnau inā makemake ʻo FAA e haʻalele i ka palekana e hōʻoluʻolu i ka loaʻa kālā o kahi ʻoihana?
ʻO nā hōʻike hou e pili ana i kahi mea hoʻolaha e hōʻike ana i nā hewa palekana weliweli a ke keʻena Aupuni i hilinaʻi ʻia e mālama i ka palekana ma ka mokulele.
ʻO ka US Office of Special Counsel (OSC) he hui hoʻokolokolo kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa. ʻO kā lākou mau mana kumu mai nā kānāwai federal: The Civil Service Reform Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Hatch Act, a me ka Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
ʻO ka ʻoihana mua a OSC ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana pono ma o ka pale ʻana i nā limahana federal a me nā mea noi mai nā hana i pāpā ʻia nā limahana, ʻoi aku ka hoʻopaʻi no ka whistleblowing.
Wahi a kahi hōʻike ma ka Wall Street Journal, ua hoʻoholo ka ʻoihana e hāʻawi paha ka FAA i ka mālama ʻana i ka Southwest Airlines i ka ʻae ʻana i nā mokulele mokulele mai Kaleponi a i Hawaii. Hoʻokumu wale ʻia ma ke kōkua ʻana i ka mokulele e "hoʻōla" kālā.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ka ʻatikala ʻo Wall Street Journal mai kēia lā, ua hana hewa paha nā mea hoʻoponopono palekana ea US ma ke ʻano o ka ʻae ʻana iā Southwest Airlines. Co. e hoʻomaka i nā mokulele ma waena o Kaleponi a me Hawaii i ka makahiki i hala.
ʻO ka manaʻo hoʻoholo mua a ke Office of Special Counsel e pili ana i ka ʻōlelo a kekahi limahana Federal Aviation Administration i hāʻawi ʻia e nā luna ʻoihana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻana i ka mea lawe ma o ka wikiwiki ʻana i ke kaʻina ʻae a ʻoki i nā kihi ma nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.
"Ua loaʻa i nā limahana o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i ka nui o ka hewa" e nā limahana FAA, e like me kahi palapala, ma waena o nā palapala a me nā leka uila ma waena o nā limahana a me ka whistleblower i loiloi ʻia e The Wall Street Journal. ʻAʻole i hoʻolaha ʻia ka nīnau.
ʻO ka limahana, ka mea i hāʻawi ʻia i nā pale whistleblower maʻamau, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua hana nā luna FAA i "ka hoʻokele hewa a me ka hoʻomāinoino ʻana i ka mana" no ka "pono kālā o ka mokulele," e like me ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.
ʻO nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi, e ʻōlelo ana i ka FAA i ʻimi e kōkua i ke Komohana Hema e hōʻea i kekahi o kāna mau mea ulu nui, ʻaʻole pili i nā hoʻokolokolo hoʻomau ma ka B737-MAX.
Inā hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi, e hāʻawi lākou i nā hōʻike hou aʻe o nā hemahema FAA e hoʻoponopono ana i ka palekana o ka ʻoihana mokulele.
Ke alo nei ka FAA i ka nānā nui ʻana mai nā poʻe loio, nā huakaʻi, a me nā mea hoʻohewa ʻē aʻe e kūʻē nei ua hāʻawi ʻo FAA i ka mana nui iā Boeing i ka hoʻolālā ʻana o MAX. ʻO nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi hou loa, i hui pū ʻia me nā hemahema FAA ma mua e hoʻopaʻa pono i ka mea lawe ukana no nā hemahema palekana, hiki ke hopena i ka nānā nui ʻana i nā pōʻino o ka hana i nā mea lawe like ʻole.
ʻO ka noiʻi FAA hou loa e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻae ʻana o Southwest i Pepeluali i hala e hoʻomaka i ka lawelawe ma kēlā mau ala moana lōʻihi. ʻIke ʻo Southwest Airlines i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka Aloha Mokuʻāina ma ke ʻano he mākeke ulu nui no ka mea lawe.
Ua haʻi aku kahi ʻōlelo a Southwest i ka WSJ i ka ʻae ʻia "ua noʻonoʻo a paʻa i ka hahai ʻana i nā kaʻina hana āpau." Ua hoʻokō ka mea lawe i nā koi FAA maʻamau a ua hoʻokō i nā lula FAA a pau i ka wā o ke kaʻina hana "paʻa" i lawe ʻia ma kahi o 14 mau mahina, ʻōlelo ʻo ia, me ka ʻole o ka pane ʻana i nā hoʻopiʻi kikoʻī.
Wahi a nā palapala aʻoaʻo kūikawā, ʻo ka ʻae ʻia ʻana i ka mahina ʻo Pepeluali i ka hoʻolālā o Southwest's Hawaii he ʻāpana o ka papa inoa makemake i hoʻomākaukau ʻia e ka ʻoihana "e kōkua i nā mokulele e hoʻihoʻi kālā" mai kahi pani ʻana o ke aupuni i Dekemaba 2018.
Ua hōʻole ka FAA i ka ʻōlelo ma mua o ka hōʻoia ʻana i ke ola o ka hoʻokolokolo.
ʻIke ʻia ua loaʻa ka hoʻoikaika ʻana. ʻO ka lawelawe ʻo Hawaiʻi, i hoʻomaka ʻia ma Malaki, ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi mālamalama i ka makahiki 2019 no Southwest i kahi makahiki paʻakikī, ʻoiai ua hakakā ka mokulele me ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka 737 MAX.
Ua hōʻole ka ʻōlelo a ke keʻena loio i ka ʻōlelo.
Ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i kahi mokulele US ke hoʻohana i nā jetliners māhoe-engine ma nā huakaʻi lōʻihi ma luna o ka wai i nā hola mai nā mokulele ulia pōpilikia, pili ia i nā loiloi palekana FAA kūikawā, me nā ʻano hoʻomaʻamaʻa like ʻole ma ka ʻāina a ukali ʻia e nā huakaʻi hōʻikeʻike me ka ʻole o nā kaʻa.
ʻO ke komohana hema, ka mea lawe i ka nui o nā kaʻa o ka hale, lele wale nā hiʻohiʻona māhoe 737 o Boeing Co.
ʻAʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā ʻenekini ʻekolu a me ʻehā i nā lula like.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi mākaʻikaʻi kūloko, nona nā hōʻoia i koi ʻia, i ka hale kaʻa i ka wā o nā mokulele a ʻo nā limahana mai ke keʻena nui o FAA, i hana ʻia me ka wikiwiki ʻana i nā ʻae, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia e noho i loko o ka cockpit, e like me ka hōʻuluʻulu.
I kēia mau lā ka Ua wehe ʻo FAA i ʻekolu mau luna koʻikoʻi mai ke keʻena kiaʻi o Southwest, ma waena o nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi ʻē aʻe o ka hoʻokō palekana lax i hāpai ʻia e ka poʻe whistleblowers a me ka hopena o nā nīnau aupuni.
Ma lalo o ʻelua pule aku nei, ua Ua hāʻawi ʻo FAA i kahi hoʻopaʻi he $ 3.9 miliona kū'ē i ka mokulele ma luna o ka hoʻoili uila o ka ʻikepili kaumaha mokulele. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Southwest e hana pū me ka FAA e hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia. Ua hoʻonui pū ka ʻoihana i nā loiloi e pili ana i ka hoʻouka ʻana i nā ukana.
Kūʻai ʻia nā tiketi no nā huakaʻi mua o ka mokulele ma Hawaiʻi ma hope koke iho o ke kūʻai ʻia ʻana i ʻelua pule ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka lawelawe.
E lawelawe ana ma ke komohana hema i Hawaii mai Sacramento, Oakland a me San Jose me kona mau auwaa he 737 i keia manawa, aka, i ka hope, manao lakou e hoohana hou aku i na mokuahi 737 MAX pono wahie, mahope iho o ka hoi ana i ka lawelawe. He hoʻopaʻapaʻa paha kēia ma kāna iho.
