Meet our interns

People are the heartbeat of Alaska Airlines. From the first day, it was so evident that the culture at Alaska Air Group was special. I felt instantly welcomed into my department, equipped for success, and embraced for what I uniquely brought to the team. This supportive environment allowed me to thrive by cultivating genuine relationships, delivering value to my team, and ultimately leaving the summer making an impact. Investment in the next generation was clear through cross-department shadows, meaningful mentorship, enrichment opportunities, and even executives taking time out of their busy schedules to meet and hear my ideas. I fell in love with the brand and industry, but the authentic connections I built are what ultimately solidified my pursuit of a career at Alaska.

Stepping into this division of the airline, I was eager to grow the knowledge I retained and learn more of the things I was unfamiliar with from my peers. Experiencing and soaking in a company's culture was another goal of mine during the 12-week internship program. I am extremely grateful to have joined the Alaska family where I fell in love with the people, culture, and values. Colleagues at AAG are ones that genuinely embody the goal of "Creating an Airline People Love"; you'd see it daily! In addition to base visits, testing approaches in the state of AK, delivering a brand new aircraft, assisting in FO interviews, and my connections with other workgroups as an intern are what brought me to my role and future aspirations today; I have confident aspirations of earning the company's highest customer service award and eventually retiring with AAG!

Johnathan W. Flight Operations ATC/Flight Control Intern, Summer '22

My internship in the Safety department at Alaska Airlines was the best hands-on experience I received while I was in college. Being able to take classroom learned concepts and apply them to real world scenarios at work was highly educational and rewarding. The benefits of interning for an airline were also amazing. My best friend and I spent the weekends traveling to Juneau, Maui, Austin, and Denver! Working here as an intern inspired me throughout the rest of my flight training in the hopes that I would get to work here again. As of this year, I’m now a First Officer for Horizon Air!
