To close out the month of May, we’d like to present some inspiration for Mental Health Awareness Month with our BNA Flight Attendant Emmett Ward e24240. He took the time to share his story about the progress he has made in his health journey over the last year and how he continues to stay committed to his health and wellness. Please read his story and reach out and cheer him on, ask for his awesome story in person, or even get some advice; he is open to it.

Please join us in congratulating our 2025 BNA Flight Attendant of the Year — Jack N., better known around here as “Jack of All Flights!” ✈️🏆

Jack received nearly 80 customer commendations this year alone, a true reflection of the care, professionalism, kindness, and energy he brings to every single flight. Whether supporting Customers or lifting up his fellow Crew Members, Jack consistently goes above and beyond and represents the very best of what we strive for here in BNA.

Jack, thank you for your hard work, your heart, and for making such a lasting impact on everyone lucky enough to fly with you. We are incredibly proud to celebrate you and this well-deserved recognition! 💙❤️💛

Congratulations, Jack of All Flights! 🎉

🌼 May Pets of the Month 🌼

This month we’re celebrating a duo that’s as sweet as their names… meet Butter 🐶 and Cream Cat 🐱!

Butter is bringing the golden energy- loyal, lovable, and always ready to brighten your day (and probably your snack time too).

And Cream Cat? A 10-year-old biscuit-making pro who’s living her best, cancer-free life and reminding us all to slow down and soak up the cuddles.

Together, Butter & Cream are serving up comfort, joy, and just the right amount of chaos—basically the perfect crew room combo. 💛

Give these two some love next time you see them around (or on your feed)!
