Valley 06 (141) (2).JPG I don't know about you, but one of my favorite movies is Airplane, and I just crack up over the scene where the ground crew is wiping the cockpit windows and lifting the nose radome to check the dripstick.  Well, one of our great Customers, Shar Lira, took this photo on June 21 in Phoenix of one of our Captains, who suspiciously looks like our fellow blogger, Ray Stark. Anyway, here's a chance to use your creativity and post a caption for this photo.  (Click on the photo to enlarge.) Of course, we LUV funny! And have a great Fourth of July!

Remember when one of our Customers on that last flight said she lost her pet Moth? Well I think I found it...

We've secretly replaced Captain Stark's Windex with Streaks-B-Gon. Let's see if he notices.

#1: Talk about "getting out of your comfort zone". #2: Talk about "creating job security". #3: The Mrs comments "he told me he didn't do windows". #4: "Where's Mom when you need her"?? #5: "I don't remember this in the job description". #6: "Herb would be sooooo proud".

"Sure, we use these fancy jetways for our passengers, and it IS important for us pilots to stay in shape, but I wish Herb didn't make us climb out these windows at the end of our shift." "Of course, Southwest is all about saving money, but you'd think Colleen would realize how embarrassing it is when she issues each pilot their own bottle of spray cleaner and roll of paper towels." "People always say they think airplanes don't face the same hazards as cars on the highway. Hey, buzzards are OUR form of road kill." Flight attendant to co-pilot: "I think Cap'n Ray finally flipped out. All I asked was if he wanted another bag of peanuts..." Co-pilot yells out: "Yes, it WAS a rough landing, but rules are rules and you STILL have to stand in the cockpit doorway and say goodbye to our passengers, Cap'n Ray!" "Watch this, I'm gonna climb out the window and I'll really screw up the flight attendants' through-count!" "Who cares about the dumb 'fasten your seat belt' light? I'm the boss and I'll stand up whenever I darn well feel like it." Former USAF fighter jock, now SWA pilot, is heard to exclaim: "Real men don't need a jetway!"

"I can't wait for Southwest to add assigned seats because open seating is not supposed to include the Captain's seat." or Shouting into the clown's mouth, "I said two cheeseburges, fries and onion rings."

Oh, yeah, Go Southwest!" 3. "Flaps...check! Ok, windshield...check!" 4. "Mac in maintenance told me this is the number one way to get brownie points!" 5. "We have a PR photo shoot this morning and I want to make sure they get my best side!" 6. "Doggone windshield, I keep losing my Garfield!"

Still looking for the first class section, Captain Stark suffers as an early adopter of the assigned seat program.

I usually fly on SWA every chance I get. SWA has two things going for them. One is flight selection and the other is value. Due to decrease in my business, I am flying less than last year. I am hoping to have more activity/money coming in so that I can fly often on SWA to visit clients and seek new ones. By the way, if you know someone/company that's looking for patent licensing/acquisition representation, please refer them to our web address: www.GBGLLC.net Many thanks. David_12

He always did want to be a space shuttle pilot----likes to pretend he is checking or cracks in the foam after each flight.
