Janelle Huntington dreams of the day when she has her own airplane and can explore Alaska’s vast expanse beyond the road system. She knows the financial expense of pursuing her passion of flying, so she decided to pursue a career that naturally matches her interest by becoming an air traffic controller.
“I just like exploring Alaska, like going to the Interior where my dad’s from, or to the Inupiaq region up north where my brother lives, or the Alutiiq region, where my boyfriend’s family lives,” Janelle said.

“I was five-months pregnant when the flood hit,” Macar said. “It was scary because I didn’t know what was going to happen to us.

The class B vote passed!
The Board of Directors added an item to the 2010 ballot: Amendment #1, the addition of 200,000 class B shares.
This ballot had passed by a majority vote of our shareholders by person or proxy. This amendment allows for additional class B stock and enrollment of eligible children born after December 18, 1971.
