Hawaiian Airlines Criticized After Memo Said Native Language Would Be Axed For Inclusivity

Hawaiian Airlines quickly faced community backlash, after a memo was sent out noting a policy rewrite which had been misworded, suggesting that the airline was set to remove all Hawaiian words to improve inclusivity.
