Pilot Company

We are proud to announce the completion of our BRIDGE resource group's Pilot Light program. Over the last four weeks, we partnered with local high schools, West High, L&N STEM, and Austin East to provide students with valuable career resources and mentorship. These students immersed themselves in the Pilot culture, engaging with team members and leaders, gaining practical experience, and honing essential skills such as interviewing, resume writing, and networking. The program concluded this past Friday with a graduation ceremony, where our chief people officer, Julius Cox, awarded diplomas to the graduates. Congratulations to the students for their dedication, and huge thanks to the BRIDGE team for this impactful initiative.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we partnered with the American Red Cross to help rebuilding efforts. Through Pilot's round-up campaign, we raised an astounding $600,000 for relief efforts! This generosity enabled us to contribute to the American Red Cross and and to local organizations to help the affected communities. Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible!
