Pilots and Teachers

“Coming into the classroom the way that Southwest does shows students that there is more to running a company than flying a plane. Students see how many people throughout the corporation play important roles contributing to the overall operation.”

Adopt-A-Pilot Teacher


“It’s rewarding to inspire students to broaden their horizons, so they can set goals and achieve dreams. Many of these kids have never been to an airport or flown on a plane, so this gives them a chance to see all the action, first hand.”

First Officer Ken A. Kenosha, WI
