Alaskan Airlines Aviation Day 5/21 - Registration opens Apr 1!

Alaskan Airlines Aviation Day

http://www.alaskaair-aviationday.org/

Two sessions will be available on Saturday, May 21, 2011, Session 1, 8am-4pm, Session 2, 9am-4pm

This free event is aimed at inspiring aviation dreams in the youth of Puget Sound communities. Aviation Day 2011 will provide the opportunity for high school-aged young adults to learn firsthand about career paths in the aviation industry. Guided by Alaska Airlines and volunteers from the other sponsor businesses, the youth will be able to "kick the tires," see the wheel wells with mechanics and the flight deck of a Boeing 737 with line pilots. They will look into the guts of a jet engine with employees who fix them, and take a behind-the-scenes tour of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with those who operate there. Careers as far ranging as air traffic control to flight attendant will be discussed. Participants will be able to explore just how flights are planned, scheduled and executed. Training facilities will be open for them and engineers will guide them through the construction of aircraft. Several light aircraft and pilots will also be on-site to educate and inspire tomorrow's leaders to take us into the skies of the future.

Come let Alaska Airlines employees show you how our Alaska Spirit soars to the skies and the commitment to our customers is more than just a career — it's who we are. Register after April 1st for an experience you will never forget.

Each session will accommodate approximately 250 attendees. Registration will be cut off when we reach 500 Student/Scout attendees. Lunch of Hot Dogs, Chips and Juice or Soda will be provided. Adult registration do not count toward the total attendees.

Registration opens April 1, 2011!
