Pilot Stories
Every pilot has a unique journey. From first flights to final flights to what they do when they aren't at work, these stories remind us of the heart and soul behind the profession and the importance of passing on that legacy to future generations.

Inside the flight deck and out, ALPA pilots engage with individuals and organizations to accomplish extraordinary things. The long running “Our Stories” series showcases how ALPA pilots expand their horizons and connect with the global community.
