He scaled Mt. Everest, reaching the summit on May 17.... “If life allows you to do whatever you enjoy best, we can also use that to contribute to others,” he said, of his desire to give back to charity.
It took Felgueiras two months to climb Everest. He stayed at the top for about 10 minutes. He left the TAP flag at the summit. “TAP accompanied me all the time. It was worthwhile!”
In 1997, Felbueiras scaled the 5,963 m. high Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. That was his first attempt to conquer the seven summits. In 2008, he became the first Portuguese citizen to reach the summit of the Carstenz Pyramid in Oceania, at a height of 4,884 m. raising €6,100 for charity. He has also scaled Aconcagua in Argentina, Elbrus in Russia and Denali in Alaska. He has one more mountain left on his list.

Feedback from employees indicates that they do want a way to connect with staff around the world and the site allows them to do that. By clicking on the “Find People” section they can search by name, airline, job, interests etc. and quickly find like-minded people who have registered. There is also a great deal of interest in people inviting other people to be friends so that’s an interesting outcome. We encourage users to also post their travel tips and website links to travel sites that they have found useful. For the future, there are dozens of widgets that can be included in the site including personal blogs, twitter feeds etc. that can be included as time and budget permit. What else is done depends on the users and what they want to see.   Connects is a sub-site of the our main employee site, http://www.staralliancemployees.com/, which we developed a couple of years ago. Users can link to the site from Connects and vice-versa. The employee site houses all of our publications, photo galleries, video, daily news updates, a knowledge quiz, RSS etc., so quite valuable for employees who want to keep up on Star information.
