Southwest Airlines Community

I got to see Rose, Colleen (not Colleen Braigel-I can't remember if I spelled her last name right), Jenny (I believe that's her name-she has long blond hair & is, I'd say, middle age), & another agent from Airline when I was changing planes in MDW last year ; it's when I was going to & from CMH for both of my RSA interviews. The last agent I saw is a man, but I forgot his name. He wears glasses & is older (not old, but older); he's also somewhat tall. It's not James. I spoke briefly to Jenny & talked with others. Anyway, I was able to get a picture of me with Rose & another agent (the other agent wasn't on the show, but that's okay), & I got Rose's & Colleen's autograph. They autographed a boarding pass for me, which of course I still have, along with the picture! 🙂 ... View more

Oh, Carole, please don't retire! I'd LUV to meet you & I want you to be one of my FAs! We need to go on strike, saying that you can't retire. I wish you the best, though. You deserve it. 🙂 ... View more

Thanks for your awesome work, Colleen, as well as all of the LUVing SWA employees! Happy 4th of July! SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Hmmm, Joe, that could be it! I wouldn't be surprised! *Scratches head & asks, "Now why didn't I think of that?"* 🙂 ... View more

Oh, no Joe! 🙂 I had mine taken when I had my second FA interview, but for some reason, when I had my second CSA & RSA interviews, they didn't take them. ... View more

Oh, wow, Joe! I'm sorry about the delays! 😞 I hope your interview went well; I bet it did. Please keep me updated! ... View more

Ha, ha Kim! 🙂 Yes, that's a good idea. I've never been able to think of a better name. I better stock up on candy corn for the winner! If the LUV (though I know they spell it Love) Connection were still on, you could be our host, Kim! ... View more

Sweet pickles, Joe! What position is it for? SWA LUVer Girl 🙂 ... View more

When I go to MCO next month, I'm checking in two hours early, both going & coming! I like to check in 1 1/2 to 2 hours early, even when traveling in the states, & 2 hours early when I'm going overseas. I noticed you mentioned MCO in your post, Bert. :) SWA LUVer Girl 🙂 ... View more

USS Blog Boy, I'm the same! I'm picky & I know exactly what I'm looking for in a man. I've actually decided I'm giving up on finding anyone, unless I meet someone when I go to work for SWA-whenever that happens to be! Bert, when my parents & I came home from Israel, they were (& still are) very careful at check in. Before we could walk up to the counter, an employee searched our bags very carefully & asked us questions; of course, we were there to see this the whole time. Then, we walked up to the counter to check in. Also, when we were going through the metal detector, they looked carefully at our bags as they went through. SWA LUVer Girl 🙂 ... View more

I'm sorry for the DPs on this one, too! *Hands candy corn to Brian. * :) I forgot to add this to my posts above. For those who make reservations by phone (sometimes I call, sometimes I do them online), you can ask for Ding! Boy (Joe, don't you work in Res?) & Paco, too! :) SWA LUVer Girl ... View more

I'm sorry for the DPs. Brian, would you like me to send you some candy corn in appreciation of both being posted? :) Elizabeth, we need to think of a title for you! I need one, too. Maybe mine can be this: FSWEBG-Future Southwest Employee Blog Girl, or SWA LUVer Girl. I'm not sure. *Scratchs head in thought.* ... View more

It'll be 15 years ago in July that I actually visited Chicago. The last few times I was there it was to change planes. I think we should charter a SW plane, have Lou Freeman & Captain (Ray) Stark be our Pilot & Captain, & Carole A. & James as two of our FAs (I could be the third one); we can take a trip there. James can be our tour guide! 🙂 ... View more

Ha, ha Kim! No, I wasn't. I do know who you're talking about though! 🙂 ... View more

Fly like an Egyptian! Okay, that was really a dorky one! The tall white building reminds me of the Washington Monument! ... View more

It'd be neat if we could all fly to Chicago for a vacation & have James take us on a tour! We could charter a SW plane. Gosh, it'll be 15 years ago this July since I've vacationed there; the other times I'm in the city, I'm changing planes. ... View more

Ha, ha Kim! 🙂 Actually, no. I do know whose initials you're talking about though! :) FSWAEBG Future SWA Employee Blog Girl ... View more

Yes, you're right, Kim! 🙂 That's a good idea about taking pictures of your luggage & carrying them with you! It really is. Now why did I never think of that? ... View more

Bert, that is a good idea to put a copy of your itinerary inside your bags. I've never thought about that, but I will start doing that; I can do it when I go to MCO next month! I always have a luggage tag on the outside of my bags, but haven't put one inside. I'll do that, too. I always completely fill the tags out. My cell phone is my only phone. Another thing I do is write a list of what to pack; I put down what goes in my carry on & what goes in my checked bag. I actually keep that in my purse, but maybe I can also put one in my bags, just in case. I certainly agree with you, too, Jim, on being nice to them in baggage services (of course, it's good to be nice to everyone, though there might be times when one needs to be firm-not mean)! I'm obviously never rude or violent to a CSA, FA, etc. I see people who are rude occassionally, & it hurts me to see it. ... View more

Blog Boy, I wondered if you really meant Paris, TX! 🙂 Ha, ha! ... View more

Thanks for another interesting post, Captain Ray! Considering that I'll try again to get on with SWA as an FA (as well as RSA & CSA), I'm certainly not afraid to fly! I LUV it; I really do. It gives me an adrenaline rush, seriously! I do know people, though, who are afraid to fly. I should recommend your book to them. SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

I LUV Chicago, too! I think it's a neat city. I also know someone who lives there, as well as someone who's from there. 🙂 ... View more

That's right, Micah! 🙂 I wonder what time Southwest was "born." Southwest is So Wonderfully Awesome! ... View more

I couldn't decide where to post this, but I want to say "Happy 36th Birthday, Southwest!" Yea! *Has a party with a SW plane on the cake & throws confetti.* ... View more

Paco, is the PHX Reservations Center closed from 6-8 a.m.? I know it is in OKC, because when I interviewed there last year, they told everyone that. A future SWA RSA, CSA, & FA! 🙂 ... View more

Thanks, Paco! I really do wish we could. 🙂 ... View more

Hi, Arnold. As for your first question, you will either find out the day of your Group Interview, or you will wait two-three or four weeks. If you find out you go back for a second the same day, you may stay, or you may come back. As for your second question, I don't know! Sorry. ... View more

I think we should all do PHX for a day, take a tour of the Reservations Center, & meet Paco! I know, though, he works late at night; maybe he could swap with someone just once! That'd be fun! 🙂 ... View more

Oh, wow, Steve! Thanks for letting me know. Which Reservations center do you work in? 🙂 ... View more

Well, okay Kim! My lips are sealed with Saran wrap. What if it shows up in People or The National Enquirer, though? 🙂 ... View more
