Southwest Airlines Community

Yes, me too, Blog Boy! 🙂 I'm hungry now, but I'll eat soon; I hope I don't die of starvation! So, Blog Boy-what did you do Thanksgiving? I ate at the Delta Cafe, next door to my apartment complex! Yummmm. It was so good. I'd have rather eaten at the Southwest Cafe, but since there's no such thing, I settled for the Delta. Ha, ha, ha. :) Thought for the day: Why is it called candy corn when it's not made out of corn, or shaped like it? 🙂 Maybe there's corn syrup in it. I should research this so I don't lose sleep! :) SWA LUV! ... View more

I had a great Thanksgiving, too! 🙂 Two things I'm definitely thankful for are Southwest Airlines & my friends who work for this fun LUVing airline! Thanks for sharing your story, Diane! Thought for the day: Why is it called a corn dog when it's not made out of corn? :) SWA LUV! ... View more

I remember a dumb question I asked once! A little over 13 years ago, I had surgery. When I was in for my preop visit at the hospital, a nurse was talking with me some about general anesthetic, which I had. She told me I was not allowed to wear anything scented, & even though I promise I heard her, I asked if I could wear perfume! *Slaps forehead.* I felt like an idiot asking when I knew I couldn't! Ha, ha, ha, ha. "Gee, Dad!" P.S. I made reservations to fly to STL next March! 🙂 I'm certainly ready to board that SWA plane & go! 🙂 Just as I always do before I take a trip, I'm already counting down the months! Then, I'll count down the weeks, days, & hours. :) SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Francisco & Kim, the External Blog Boy, I wish you'd come to TUL sometime! Well, I obviously know you have, EBB, but you can come again! Well, I want all of my out-of-state SWA friends to come. That'd be cool if you could meet my friends in TUL who work for the Company. :) Francisco, I forgot to thank you for your posts! They, just like all of the other ones, are interesting! If I had something to post (more than just comments), I'd do it! I've another joke. What did the number 4 say to the number 6? Now we're even! Ha, ha, ha! I made that one up by my very own self, too! 🙂 SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Hey, yeah, Kim! Maybe it would stand for "Wild & Wacky!" I don't know. 🙂 Francisco-am I missing something? I see my name on your comment. 🙂 Well, Happy Thanksgiving! :) I've a joke: What did the number one say to the number three? You're odd! Ah, ha, ha,ha. I made that up by my very own self! 🙂 SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Hi, & you're welcome, Salvador! Please keep us updated! 🙂 I hope my determination pays off, too. Hi, & you're welcome, too, Jeffrey! I wouldn't think they'd get mad at getting a direct call from you, especially if it's been a while. To me, it shows you're still interested. Am I correct in saying that you're waiting on the results from the background check? I'd think they'd do that & the job reference check at the same time, but I'm not positive. When you do hear something, please let us know! :) Funny thought for the day: Wouldn't it be hilarious to buy a picture frame with the person's (or with people's) picture(s) in it & show it off to others, making them think they're part of your family? :) Well, I better get ready for bed! Zzzzzz. SWA LUV! ... View more

Wow, Kim! That's a touching story. Thanks for sharing it. ... View more

Hmm, Ding! boy! That sounds good. Maybe Blog Boy will share with us! :) Thought for the day: Since there's a Days Inn motel, why is there not a Night's Out? SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Oh, I'm disappointed, Bill! 😞 Oh, well. That's okay. I'll always LUV SWA. 🙂 You know, I need to use my gift from SWA (I got a card & gift for a free upgrade from Hertz in October because I've been an RR member for a year) to take another trip! 🙂 It expires March 31, 2008. P.S. I used to think about being a TV broadcaster! I really did. I went into a totally different major, though. P.S.S. Happy belated birthday to Oklahoma! I didn't post this yesterday (Friday), but my home state, which I still live in, celebrated its 100th birthday Friday. If anyone knows the words to our song (certainly I do), I'll give you $61, 819.71! :) Thought for the day: Since there's a footlong sandwich, why is there not an armlong? ... View more

Jeff, in answer to your question, they are definitely doing a background check, right? I just want to make sure I understand. I don't know why you haven't heard yet, but surely it's good! I'd think so, anyway. Perhaps you can call if you don't hear something soon. That's my $61, 819.71worth anyway. Please keep us posted! :) SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 Thought for the day: Do dogs have fur or hair? 🙂 ... View more

Salvador, in answer to your question, here's what I did. I waited (by the way, I interviewed-both group & one-on-one for FA, CSA, & RSA) about 3 months & when I hadn't heard, I called DAL & reminded them I'd applied for FA & was still interested. This was for my Group Interview. A week later, I believe, I got the letter inviting me for a Group Interview. I found out that day of the first one that I was going back for a second; two & a half weeks after the second one, I called to check the status but didn't get a yes or no. Not long after that, though, I got the dreaded letter saying I wasn't selected for FA training. 😞 Now, when I interviewed for CSA, I'd sent in my resumà ... View more

Welcome home, Francisco, & thanks for all you've done! 🙂 I know you'll have a wonderful Thanksgiving. God bless! I'm surprised & sorry you didn't have exciting news after your interview. 😞 I really thought you'd have been selected! Well, I'm glad you'll try again next year. Will it be for RSA again, something else, or both? Please keep us posted! SWA LUV! :) Thought for the day: I wonder what the "M" stands for in M & M's candy? 🙂 ... View more

Happy early Thanksgiving to my friends at Southwest! God bless you all. 🙂 So, Brian, are you making anything with candy corn in it for the holiday? :) Here's a joke: What did one chip say to the other? Let's go for a dip! Ha, ha! Chips & dip-get it? I made that up by my very own self. SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Thanks for the post, Bill! SWA is definitely #1! :) Also, thanks, Kim! Boy, if SWA did create a TUL-MCO route where I could hang out with Winnie the Pooh & Friends, along with Mickey & Minnie Mouse, & be home for the night, I would LUV that! :) "Live in the Newsroom, Leah Johns, News Channel 8." SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Kim, thanks so much for sharing your story! That's very touching. I LUV SWA 🙂 ... View more

Yes, Kim. You are right on that! 🙂 I agree with you 1,971%! SWA LUV! :) Thought for the day: Why do we use the word "jam" when we're, say, stuck in traffic, & not the word "jelly" or "butter?" *Sighs. I just don't know!* Maybe it's because we're stuck. P.S. If there's anyone who can think of a nickname for me, please let me know! 🙂 ... View more

Okay, Kim! You're right! :) From your black & orange (I said those colors because they're my college alma mater colors-East Central Univ.) pal to the North of the Red River, Leah :) SWA LUV! Thought for the day: Why is called a card table when it's not made out of cards? It has to be because people play cards on it, but sometimes they may eat off of a card table. Well, really, they eat off plates/ out of bowls set on the table. I know, I come up with the weirdest thoughts! ... View more

Awww! I give up on these games! I'll never win. Oh, well; congratulations to the winners & Kim. SWA LUV 🙂 ... View more

Ding! boy, can you please tell me who it is? *Gets on knees & begs.* I promise 1,971 times to keep it a secret! 🙂 Well, I think I know who the external t-shirt maker is. I better not say, though. By the way, it's good to "see" you back! "'What's that supposed to mean?" SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

I didn't say this earlier, but in addition to dressing up as an FA/a CSA, I had my face painted with a Southwest Spirit plane at work! :) Interesting facts for the day: Budapest is actually two cities! When my parents & I were in Europe for two weeks, we went there & our tour guide told us that! 🙂 My other fact for the day is that Codell, KS, was hit by a tornado on May 20, 1916, 1917, & 1918! 😞 I'm extremely fascinated by severe weather, especially tornadoes! I really want to be a storm chaser. As much as I LUV severe weather, I LUV SWA even more. :) Well, it's time to go to bed so I can get up (somewhat) early for Sunday School & church, so goodnight everyone! Sleep tight & don't let the bed bugs bite! Zzzzzzzz. SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 ... View more

I didn't add this, Blog Boy, but I LUV the shirt ( that says "Are You Nuts?") you & Paula are wearing in the picture! Where did you get it? :) Thought for the day: Why is short hair on women's foreheads called bangs? SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Aww, okay Kim! 🙂 I'll do that. Ha, ha! This is funny! "Who told you that?" SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

It sounds like you're having fun in Vegas, Blog Boy & Paula! Thanks for the post, & I want to hear more when you have a chance! You know, I still can't think of a nickname for myself. I must keep thinking! SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Aw, Kim. Why are you trying to stay below my radar screen? Ha, ha. 🙂 By the way, Brian, do we get a prize for answering correctly? :) Thought for the day: You all know how they say no two snowflakes are alike? Well, are there no two raindrops, claps of thunder, & flashes of lightning alike? SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 ... View more

I need to rephrase something. There's another Oklahoma town (which really isn't a town anymore, because it's extremely small) you could add to the list for the least number of departures, Kim; that would be Quinlan! My dad grew up there & I have an aunt & uncle (his sister & brother-in-law) who live there. Sorry. I had a long day at work, so I'm tired! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I better go to bed soon. Here's another joke! What did one box of Bisquick pancake mix say to the other? Batter up! Ah, ha, ha, ha. I made that one up by my very own self, too! SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Ah, good one, Kim! 🙂 Ha, ha, ha! I LUV it. There's one other Oklahoma town (which really isn't a town because it's extremely small) you could add to the list of least number of departures is Quinlan. I have some family living there. I'm glad you didn't cheat. You don't want to face the wrath of me! 🙂 I'm eager to see the winners. I've another joke: Knock, knock! Who's there? Water! Water who? Water (what are) you doing tonight? I made that up by my very ownself! SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Okay, here are my guesses: 1-LAS 2-LAX 3-MCO 4-HOU 5-BWI 6-MDW 7-PVD 8-DTW 9-BOI 10-PIT Can we get an extra prize for knowing the city codes? 🙂 You better watch out for the wrath of me! Ha, ha. You know I'm kidding. :) Fun fact for the day: If you say the words "peep hole" really fast, it sounds like you're saying "people!" You should impress your family, friends, & co-workers with this. I've a joke, too. What do you drink that exercises? Water, because it runs! Ha, ha, ha, ha! I thought of that by my very own self! :) "Will somebody please tell me what's going on?" SWA LUV to all! 🙂 ... View more

Well, Pete Bogs, this woman had on a skirt that was way too short. Gary was covered up more. SWA LUV! :) Fact for the day: If you put the words "to", "get", & "her" together, you get the word "together!" ... View more

Hmm, Rebecca! That's a good thought! 🙂 Like I said, I knew about the FA base; I just didn't know it was for pilots, too! 🙂 Yea! Thought for the day: Why is it called candy when there are no cans in it? ... View more

Aww, why me Blog Boy? 🙂 Ha, ha! 🙂 Maybe Mark & Drew can both win a prize! I'll have to think about my answers before I post. I do want to say LAS is highest, but after that, I'm not sure. By the way, what's the consolation prize? Fact for the day: Pop is spelled pop backwards! I know, I have total random thoughts. SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more
