About Jack Darlington

When I was growing up in Tucson, Arizona, most of my time was spent playing one of many sports or watching airplanes fly out of Tucson International Airport and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The two things I wanted to do most when I grew up was to play football, basketball, or baseball professionally and fly airplanes. One of the defining moments that cemented my love for aviation growing up was when an American Airlines Captain invited me up to the cockpit on a delayed flight from Tucson to Dallas when I was seven years old. If it were not for that captain I may not be in the position I am today. I look forward to being able to help others see the love of aviation with my interactions out at the airport. I consider myself very lucky to be able to go to work doing my dream job. My past includes playing football at the collegiate level and working multiple sales roles successfully to ultimately help me pursue my final career destination as an airline pilot. It is this unique background that helps me be a great crewmember having had to work in many scenarios across sales and athletics. I am grateful for all the people who supported me in the past and helped me achieve the goal of making it to the airlines. I look forward to helping others achieve their aviation career goals and get many people safely to their desired destinations. I will hopefully see you at an airport in the near future.
