Earlier this week, Pilot partnered with the UT Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams for an unforgettable surprise at Emerald Academy! Student athletes were uplifted with words of encouragement, gifted basketballs and merch, and even got to hit the court with the Tennessee players. We are so grateful for this opportunity to spread a little joy this holiday season!

Every year, we’re proud to partner with Wreaths Across America to honor our fallen heroes. This week, one of our drivers and Army veteran, Ian Adams, returned to Knoxville with a truckload of wreaths that will be placed on the tombstones of service members at veteran cemeteries across East Tennessee. Thank you, Ian, for your service to our country and for representing Pilot as we pay tribute to our nation's heroes this holiday season.

This Giving Tuesday, we're proud to donate $50,000 to Folds of Honor, an organization that supports the families of fallen and disabled military members and first responders. Pilot's donation will fund scholarships for qualified recipients looking to earn their commercial driver's license, paving the way for the next generation of truck drivers.

“Giving back to the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and the communities we serve, especially through education, is a small way to show our gratitude and support their future," said Wendy Hamilton, chief of staff at Pilot.

Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded over 62,000 scholarships to deserving families nationwide. We’re honored to be part of their mission. Click here to learn more: https://pilotflyingj.com/press-release/36686

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.
