Mentoring at 35,000 feet

Delta's jets fill up with some of the smartest people in the world. Leaders in technology, science, the arts and more.

Could these leaders use this time in the air to not just fly, but to share their knowledge with an up-and-coming professional in the seat next to them? From this idea Delta Innovation Class, an in-flight mentoring program, was born.

Delta will select leaders in innovation on their way to events around the globe for the program. The seat next to them will be open & this is your chance to sit in that seat.  Not only will you receive a free flight to the event, but during the flight, you'll have access like no other. Sitting next to the mentor you'll be able to learn, influence, and chat as much as you like about the industry you share.

Could we replicate this in other modes of transportation in our city?
