Arrived at the Hawaiian Terminal for our trip back to the mainland my partner and I brought a ton of stuff back, the plan was to drop me off with 2 check-in bags, 1 carry on and a box of pineapples. As I waited for her to return from the car rental, I decided to see if I can check myself in from an outdoor Kiosk, I was approached by Jordan he was in charge of the Skycap services, I thought it was a bit odd since I am use to the Airlines doing that. I've traveled more than enough to know, but Jordan was really great and helped me get everything I needed, my bags checked, pineapples tapped and we didn't have to wait in any lines.
That's when I asked what company he worked for, G2 secured staffing.... They are a third-party service for the airport and airlines, G2 Staffing are bag runners, wheel chair agents, help with passenger check-in, VIP services and they help unaccompanied minors.
As I waited for Jordan to get my paperwork ready, I noticed how hard they were working without all the perks. (I.E - airline workers get free flights etc..) They don't get paid much but really put in the work. When I got to the gate, I watched as many of the G2 staff pushing people in wheelchairs twice their size or years younger than the staff, I get it its their job but if you can consider adding a well-deserved TIP! read more
