Our Values
Adopt-A-Pilot is a mentorship program that sends Southwest Airlines Pilots into fifth grade classrooms to lead them through lessons on science, geography, math, creative writing, and other core subjects, all based in aviation-related activities. Students will also research careers, F.L.I.G.H.T. values, and realize the importance of staying in school. Adopt-A-Pilot is offered free of charge to schools.
Adopt-A-Pilot Timeline
In order to accommodate the busy schedules of Pilots and schools, Adopt-A-Pilot allows program participants the freedom and flexibility to set their own schedule. The Pilot’s visits are coordinated by the Pilot and the Teacher. In most cases, the Southwest Airlines ‘adopted’ Pilot visits the classroom one hour a week for four weeks. Take a look at the program timeline for important dates and deadlines. The Adopt-A-Pilot Crew is always standing by to provide more information or answer any questions. The Crew can be contacted at adoptapilot@wnco.com
