We are a Charter School, but I support the other teachers. I think they deserve a raise. Ben Cayetano tricked everyone by saying he wanted education first. It was on the top of his list. Students can't go to school and learn because of the strike.
Teachers wake up early to teach and go home late.
Each flight had a flight nurse and paramedic. Army MAST flights normally only carry emergency medical technicians, who do not have the same training as those on the Mercy Air Helicopters flights did. Even when the aircraft was stationed on the Big Island, you were still talking about two hours-plus to load the patients and get them to O'ahu hospitals. Several of the O'ahu hospitals had landing pads, so the Mercy Air copter was much faster and more efficient. Another seemingly constant problem was the reluctance at times for the doctor or emergency rooms on the Neighbor Islands to call for the helicopter.
