As I think about the 10,000-hour milestone that our Pilots have “logged” in support of Adopt-a-Pilot, I am blown away!  From what I gather, the true number of hours may even be greater since some of our Pilots didn’t track their time.  I am very proud to be one of Southwest’s Adopt-a-Pilot volunteers and I am also very proud that Southwest continues to support and grow this program

There are a lot of Southwest "urban" legends about how an amazing and unique program that serves communities all across the country came to be born.  In truth, the Adopt-a-Pilot program at Southwest Airlines was born out of a cooperative effort with the Smithsonian Institute’s National Air and Space Museum, the National Association of Teachers of Math, and other educational speci

Southwest Pilots and school administrators discuss how the Adopt-a-Pilot Progam has a huge impact on the communities and students that it serves. 

Congratulations Adopt-a-Pilot on 10,000 hours of community service.

I had the distinct pleasure of joining the fifth grade class of Dawes Elementary School on their field trip tour of our Southwest Airlines Operation at Midway Airport. Why was Dawes Elementary so lucky?

If the word “Blog” is short for web log, would a flight log be called “Flog?”
