Southwest Airlines’ Adopt-A-Pilot Program Takes Kids' Dreams to 30,000 Feet

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.
