Southwest Airlines
In its 45th year of service, Dallas-based Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) continues to differentiate itself from other air carriers with exemplary Customer Service delivered by more than 50,000 Employees to more than 100 million Customers annually. Southwest proudly operates a network of 98 destinations across the United States and seven additional countries with more than 3,900 departures a day during peak travel season. From the underdog airline of four decades ago to the leader we are today, Southwest Airlines has consistently demonstrated dedication to veterans and military spouses. It starts with recruiting talented People who want more than a career—they want to join a cause. We actively seek military talent through recruitment efforts like career fairs and military job boards. We’ve been recognized as a leader in our efforts to recruit and retain former and current members of the armed services and reserves by G.I. Jobs, CivilianJobs.com, and as a finalist for the Don Weber Wounded Veteran and Caregiver Award. Southwest partners with ArmyPaYS, the Texas Veterans Commission, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, Organization of Black Aerospace Pilots, Women in Aviation, and the Veterans Employment Center to help veterans transition from military to meaningful employment. We cultivate relationships and develop People, celebrating almost 6,900 military Employees (12.5%) in our workforce. Our Military Appreciation Program rewards Employees who serve. In 2015, our #GiveThem20 video received more than 25,000 views. We’re proud of our 12 national sponsorships with military-focused nonprofits, chosen strategically to represent a variety of services to military personnel, veterans, and their families. We provide robust support through our Community Giving Boards and Tickets for Time (Employee volunteerism) programs. Military is our second-largest focus area of charitable contributions—more than $1M in 2014. Employees volunteered 4,772 hours with military-focused charities. So while our colors may be red, yellow, and blue, our Southwest hearts beat for the red, white, and blue.For more information visit http://www.southwest.com/careers.
