While looking through our photo archives, I found this picture of our Executive Chairman, Herb Kelleher, on the tail of one of our aircraft.  (Click on the picture to enlarge.)  Here's your chance to write your own caption for this photo of our beloved Leader of the Pack!

"So this is why we have stayed away from assigned seating all these years."

[Dave511]

"I think I had one too many wild turkeys again!"

[T_Beard]

" I don't care what you say... I'm getting to SXSW"

[Robin9]

I started the Company and I still can't smoke inflight.

[Matt13]

What do you mean there is no row 24?

[David41]

"Southwest unveils its new Coach Plus Service with extra legroom."

[Terry_Lessig]

"Our planes are SO full that I have to ride out here. At least I can smoke!"

[Anonymous2090]

They don't even wait for me on the connections.

[Karen_Amos]

(part of an inflight PA) "This is a non smoking flight, so for those of you that would like to smoke you will have to step outside!"

[PyTom]

#1. Despite giving up his seat to a customer, Herb is still able to make it to the annual meeting on time. #2. Look up in the sky! It's a bird... no, it's a plane... well, it's a plane, but it's also...

[Rob_F_]

"With assigned seating, I could be inside the plane enoying a nice JB on the rocks." or "Our Chairman does his darndest to ensure we arrive on-time." or "This is not what we mean by, "Ding, you are now free to move about the country."

[Drew1]

This is the closest Herb ever came to walking away from Wild Turkey.

[Drew1]

Someone told me "Gone With the Wind" was playing in the smoking lounge outside. HELP!

[Angela_Fernande]

God Bless the USA, Southwest Airlines and it's customers who are the best!

[naunnie]

now I know why they call it JUMP SEAT

[Adam_Phillabaum]

"Have you seen my shoes?"

[david_bliss]

After standing in line for almost an hour to get a seat (absolutely ridiculous!),I should be SITTING on the back wing!

[Scott32]

So this is what they mean when they say "OPEN SEATING"!!!!

[Pete_Scaltrito]

It's not only customers who are "blown away" by the Southwest Experience or After consuming too much Wild Turkey on a flight, Herb is " hung out to dry"!

[Darlene1]

"Okay, YOU are the funniest SWA employee, now please let me back inside the plane!"

[Candy_M_Jones1]

Oh bleeeeeep, I forgot to stop by the phone booth and change into my Super Hero costume (Southwest Man) before I got on this bleeeeeepin' airplane! PS Hey Herb, I luv your SW Spirit as always....you make me lol

[FriendofBlogBoy]

Okay, I believe you -- this new form of Super Glue really DOES work. NOW could you please land this plane and unstick me?

[Damon]

"Herb! What do you mean margins are down on higher fuel costs? I have a special overseas assignement for you."

[StakesAlive325]

NRSA means NonRevenue Space-Available, Herb. You know paying passengers have priority !!! or I see the area around your feet is clear. Thank You. or Didn't you meet the Exit Row Seat Criteria? Great Fun ... Steve S., SLC

[Tom1]

It's been 35 years and I still don't know how to get into one of these things when I have to take a flight!

[Kevin211]

There has to be a better way to stop these planes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carinne]

Darn this Static cling!

[Sheri_P_]

You call this "Oversell Compensation"!!!!!

[Toni_B]

Wait for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chris3]

#1. I am out here because I lost an arm-wrestling match. #2. I was a minute late, and they had already shut the doors. But I grabbed onto the plane and will make it home on time. #3. This is better than riding a motorcycle. #4. The flight attendants caught me smoking in the bathroom again.

[Eric15]

"I said I would help clean the plane, but this is ridiculous. I meant the inside." "Hey!..this isn't the aft galley"

[Eric15]

"so this is where Non-Revs go for assigned Seating"

[Megan1]

"I'm leaving on MY jet plane"

[Kevin211]

[Don_Bubeck]

[Nancy_Cavaness]

"This was alot different in the Simulator!!!" Hey Herb! We love you - drop by for a cup of joe sometime. You know there's always a fresh pot on the burner! SWA Sim Tech Nancy

[arash]

[charlotte_Johns]

[frankie_ninete1]

[Melinda11]

hey, how am i supposed to eat my peanuts and drink my complimentary beverage?

[Greg30]

Leave nobody behind!

[Glenda_K_Wolfer]

Suggestion: Instead of charging for ailse seats and emergency row seats, try charging for large on board bags that passengers jam into the overhead bins. The roll type bags are becoming a standard rather than the last minute boarding which it was originally intended for. I believe there are many bags that would not fit into those "measured" boxes that used to be at the boarding gates.

[Nicole_LeBlanc]

I just flew in from Dallas and boy are my arms tired... or No shirt, no shoes, no service.

[Vince_Eakes]

"Still hangin in there, even after 35 years!"

[Glenn_Wilmoth]

Southwest's answer to Alaska's Eskimo.

[Matt_S]

Even Herb himself is blown away by the service you receive at Southwest Airlines!

[Susie_Q_]

WOW! Riding out a hurricane to PBI.....let's do it again!!! Now I know what they mean by tailwinds!
