SkyWest Airlines’ Post

On this Pilot's Day.I wish all fellow aviators fair tailwinds and blue skies. In fact, I want to share the pride and most mesmerizing moment in an aviator's life - the first solo flight. Even though you may have seen the Earth from above many times, the experience of leaving terra firma and reaching the skies alone offers a different perspective. It is literally a groundbreaking moment. Once you have done it and managed to land the aircraft all by yourself and walk out of the cockpit, many things change. As a young aviator, the sense of responsibility slowly makes space in your consciousness. Your outlook towards men and machines climbs a ladder. Defying gravity fills you with a sense of pride and responsibility. After all these experiences, you become part of a magical industry or legacy you might refer to as aviation or a professional called a pilot.

The future of air travel is constantly evolving.

Happiness has many forms, and for aviators, it takes flight in the boundless sky above. ☁ However, a good pilot knows there's more to this happiness than the allure of the skies. It's the camaraderie shared among passionate aviators, the lifelong friendships forged in hangars, and the shared love for the soaring beauty of flight. 🧡 #FlightSchool #FlightTraining #Aviation #AirplaneWindows #GeorgiaFlightSchools #NorthGeorgia #ScenicGeorgia

Where aviators experience the exhilaration of flying high on their aircraft's wings, it captures the essence of freedom, skill, and adventure that defines the unique sport of piloting through boundless skies.

Jamie Beckett's article in General Aviation News was a shining light given the spotlight of DEI in recent events. "In its purest form, aviation is a meritocracy. Individually, we can do it or we can’t. We meet the standard of performance or we don’t. That’s it. Nobody is too tall, too short, too blond, too bald, too pale, too dark, too whatever." Let's have positive discussions on how we bring the next generation of aviators in and provide them the knowledge to succeed. https://lnkd.in/ekzNJRUa
