Southwest Airlines Recognizes AAP Pilots for Service
Huge congratulations are in order for three of our "adopted" Pilots:
Gary Hooyman
Tim Neumann
Steve Vaught
They are three of just 26 Southwest Airlines Employees to receive the 2008 Volunteers of LUV Award, a prestigious companywide award that recognizes personal dedication to community service. All winners were nominated by their Coworkers, and our AAP Pilots were nominated by their peers not only for their Adopt-A-Pilot work, but also for the services they provide to several non-profit organizations.
We're so proud of you three, and of all the Pilots who volunteer as part of our Adopt-A-Pilot family.
Pilots, remember to nominate your fellow "adoptees" for next year's awards -- nominations open January 2010 on SWALife!

PILOTS - PLEASE SEND US YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS
We so appreciate the time you've all put into the Adopt-A-Pilot program this last year -- now we'd like to count it!
The Adopt-A-Pilot Crew is in the process of totaling the hours our Pilots have given to the Adopt-A-Pilot program. Why? Adopt-A-Pilot is Southwest's premier community volunteerism program, and surprisingly we've never tallied the number of volunteer hours. Your contribution is important, and we'd like to start gauging the scope of Adopt-A-Pilot's vounteerism year-to-year.
Based on the Pilots who have responded, we are already at over 7,000 hours! It looks like we could top 10,000 - but we need to hear from everyone.
Just e-mail us at adoptapilot@wnco.com and let us know your Flight Log hours. Be sure to include the time you spent in preparing for the program, coordinating with your teacher, mentoring the students in class, corresponding from the road, any field trips, and extra time in or out of the classroom.
Thanks!
