FSS Employee Spotlight: Christina Salazar

Flight Services & Systems (FSS) and General Manager Zach Jackson would like to recognize Christina Salazar. Christina is the Customer Service Lead at our San Antonio International Airport (SAT) location. She is trained and manages both Frontier Airlines and Sun Country Airlines. She does an excellent job in not only leading, but Christina also teaches and trains her staff each flight every day.

The reason Christina is being recognized is for her actions on August 17^th. While serving as GSC for the Sun Country operations, Christina denied boarding to a passenger that likely, if boarded, could have resulted in a safety issue inflight. The Sun Country Regional, along with General Manager Zach Jackson, praised Christina for her actions. Well done, Christina!

FSS Employee Recognized by MASSPORT at BOS

Vice President of Operations and Boston Logan International Airport General Manager George Nikolouzos would like to spotlight Ramp Agent Joshua Burrell Thomas. Joshua is a Ramp Agent for Silver Airways.

Recently, George received a compliment from Massachusetts Port Authority, or MASSPORT, about Joshua. According to the compliment, MASSPORT has witnessed Joshua conduct his FOD walks before, during, and after each flight. He’s extremely cautious while driving the GSE equipment on the ramp and always wears his seatbelt. MASSPORT says that Joshua is always smiling and asking questions about anything pertaining to ramp operations to MASSPORT.

Joshua has also been witnessed sweeping the bag room for any bags that are for the FSS operations. He actually takes the time to read each bag tag that is in the drop off location from other carriers.

From everyone at Corporate, Boston Logan, and MASSPORT, thank you, Joshua!

FSS Employee Receives Praise from Southwest Airlines at PWM

Flight Services & Systems would like to recognize Netta Brown. Netta is a customer service representative for Southwest Airlines at Portland International Jetport.

During a recent flight, a passenger’s luggage went missing. Netta gathered the passenger’s information and tried to locate the missing luggage. During this time, the passenger’s husband had left their car unoccupied in the cell phone lot. Typically, an unattended vehicle in the cell phone lot would be towed. To help ease the passenger’s concerns, Netta called to ensure that the car wouldn’t be towed. The passenger and her family were so appreciative of Netta’s efforts that they emailed Southwest to sing her praise.

Fantastic job, Netta!
