Addressing the employees, Hodge told those in attendance that he must recognize two special young people who he said can be viewed as role models to young people within Winair and in the Caribbean. "The services and performance of Miss Charlesea Joseph and Mr. Roland Brison are enormous, not that I am not remembering others who have contributed significantly. I am very grateful and thankful for the overall contributions of all of our employees as it would have been truly unfair of me to not identify them," he said.

Hodge urged fellow employees to emulate the ethics and work spirits of Joseph and Brison noting that employees like them will certainly aid in boosting the overall performance of the airline. He reminded all that giving of their best will certainly help in keeping the doors of Winair open while ensuring that the planes are kept in the skies. "I would like to encourage each of you to follow suit the example set by both Joseph and Brison in executing your duties as I am very confident that with more employees like them we will certainly remain a force to be reckon with," he said.

Way to go. Great encouragement to our young people who are in the work force. Hope more employer will do the same.

Not all our young people are on the side of the road selling drugs or rubbing tourist. There are many contributing to their lovely island St. Maarten for progress.

This recognition is very commendable! I hope this will be an incentive for Winair's personnel at the check-in counter and departure gates to drastically improve their level customer service. Unfortunately, rude personnel are more the rule than nthe exception. A kind smile and pleasant demeanor doesnt cost any money and as so much to the passengers traveling experience.

It begins in the waiting line. When it's your turn all you usually hear is: "NEXT!!!". When you advance forward and give your passport it is just taken without them even watching you to say "Good day" or "Thank you". Not that I wait for that, because I say it myself. But when getting a reply it is obvious that it didnt even cross their mind to welcome you to the counter. Their eyes are just glued to the computer screen as they type away. When they finish tagging the luggage, they look up (for the 1st time) and give you your boarding pass and other documents, and say "boarding is at ... at gate ..." and that's it. What ever happened to: "Have a nice flight/day..."
