In celebration of Hispanic & Latino\u00a0Heritage Month, we\u2019re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from our Hispanic & Latino Leaders, all across the Envoy operation, who have been a large part of growing the company from the days of American Eagle.<\/p>\n
For this installment, we hear from\u00a0Miami Hub Vice President\u00a0Migdoel Rosa<\/strong>, who oversees our operation at Miami International Airport (MIA).<\/p>\n When did you get your start in aviation, and what was your first position? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I started in 1983. I worked for a ground handling company as a charter coordinator and later as an aircraft dispatcher. Then in 1986, I was hired by American Airlines\u00a0as a Fleet Service Clerk.<\/p>\n What did you learn then that you believe has helped you achieve the position you\u2019re in now? <\/strong><\/p>\n The company didn\u2019t have many resources at that time. Therefore, I learned how to survive by being creative and curious at the same time. I was always involved\u00a0in different areas like the Aircraft Maintenance, Ground Service Equipment, and Cargo departments.<\/p>\n What does it mean to you to celebrate our Hispanic & Latinx heroes, historical figures, pioneers and visionaries during this annual, national recognition? <\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s an inspiration to honor the footsteps of those\u00a0who helped build this country and our community. Together, we all cherish the values of diversity, respect and integration.<\/p>\n With Envoy\/American Eagle\u2019s history in Puerto Rico and current operations and relationships in Mexico, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, why is it important to you that we\u2019re a company made up of so many diverse backgrounds?<\/strong><\/p>\n I see it as competitive advantage. We cater to a diverse and multi-cultural market. We are proud of fostering a work environment that has representation from almost every country of the region. And, it’s\u00a0part of my DNA!<\/p>\n Tell us one \u201cFun Fact\u201d about you that many people might not know!<\/strong><\/p>\n Bailo regueton! (I dance reggaeton!)\u00a0And, I still use handkerchief every day — it’s a baby boomer thing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In celebration of Hispanic & Latino\u00a0Heritage Month, we\u2019re sharing a series of sixty-second interviews from our Hispanic & Latino Leaders, all across the Envoy operation, who have been a large part of growing the company from the days of American Eagle.
