Dear Sir:
We are planning a feature story on aviation safety here in the Hawaiian Islands area.
Four years ago, one of your aircraft crashed at Maui killing 22 and injuring 12 others. We
would like to have one of our feature reporters visit your headquarters and discuss with you
what actions resulted from that accident and what presently constitutes your aviation
safety program. We are also aware of several reported near-mid air collisions with your
aircraft and would like to discuss those, too.
We can schedule the interview at your convenience. Please contact me at 808-555-1122

HOT LINE TELEPHONE RECORDER- 25 January
Yes, this is a baggage handler here at Maui. When we are short of aircraft tugs, the
pilots will use reverse thrust to back out of the gate. This is OK except for gate 7
when there is another plane parked at gate 6. Because of the way the ramp bends
at that point, the plane at gate 6 is almost directly behind the one at gate 7. When I
am working baggage at gate 6, I get a mouthful of dust and debris and I have lost
one hat and a pair of glasses so far. I turned in a hazard report on this in December,
but nothing has happened. Thank you.
