JetBlue pilot inspires young aviator

by Lilly Workneh | October 11, 2013

Scott first met with the inquisitive boy nearly 10 years ago, when 5-year-old Elijah Hedrington first became interested in becoming a pilot.
Now the two have reconnected and Hedrington is currently enrolled as a sophomore at New York’s Bronx Aerospace High School. Scott has also eagerly agreed to serve as his mentor.
“The first time I saw him he became my role model,” Hedrington said. “A black man, being a pilot, a job I wanted to do.”
