We are thrilled to announce our latest Wings of Excellence recipient: Steve Thomas, Base Manager at our ORD base. Nominated by Captain Sam Rannochio, Steve has proven time and again that he’s the go-to person for solving problems and supporting everyone at the Chicago base—whether they’re pilots, flight attendants, new hires, or seasoned crew members.
Why Steve Stands Out:
“Steve is a one-man show at ORD. There is nothing he can’t do nor a problem he can’t solve! He works hard on both the pilot side and the flight attendant side. Need help with parking, SIDA, pilot or FA questions or assistance… Steve is your front-line contact! From new hire orientation to veteran help, Steve can handle the issue! ORD would sink without his professional knowledge and leadership!” – Captain Sam Rannochio
A Leader and a Problem-Solver
Steve embodies GoJet Airlines’ core values by providing hands-on support for any situation. Whether he’s assisting with logistical details like parking and SIDA badges, or guiding new hires through their first days on the job, he brings calm expertise to every interaction.
His unwavering commitment to helping colleagues—no matter their role or level of experience—makes a tangible difference at ORD. That spirit of teamwork and inclusivity is exactly what our Wings of Excellence program aims to celebrate.
Join Us in Congratulating Steve
We invite you to share in our excitement as we congratulate Steve Thomas on this well-deserved recognition. His dedication to keeping ORD operations running smoothly ensures that our team can focus on providing the highest quality of service to our passengers.
