 It's time again for our annual Heroes of the Heart celebration, which is an event at Southwest Headquarters each Valentine's Day to honor a hardworking behind-the-scenes group of Employees.  The nominations have been reviewed; the committee has voted; and the suspense has been building!  Who will the deserving winners be this year?  We will soon find out!  Past winners of this coveted award include: 2007: Internal Customer Care 2006: Legislative Awareness 2005: Schedule Planning 2004: People Benefits 2003: Fuel Management 2002: Finance Payroll 2001: Pass Bureau 2000: Revenue Management & Pricing 1999: Maintenance Control 1998: Systems 1997: Reservations Administrative Coordinators 1996: Customer Service Coordinators & FLIFO Agents 1995: Flight Ops & Inflight Planning, Scheduling, & Payroll 1994: Technical Services 1993: Station Administrative Coordinators As you have probably learned, Southwest Airlines Employees LUV a reason to celebrate, and it is only fitting that Valentine's Day is a monumental occasion for the LUV Airline.  If you're flying on Valentine's Day, you're sure to feel the LUV on our flights and at our airports across the nation.  After all, what better way to show our appreciation for our Customers than with a little help from Cupid?  Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh, surely not, Ding! Boy Joe. I'd LUV a cherry turnover, please! Thanks! 🙂 I'll exercise again tonight. I remember reading about Heroes of the Heart in my book, Nuts! Thought for the day: Why is it called chili when it's hot food? :) SWA LUV!
