This gives me some ideas for when I become an FA (whenever that happens to be!:) ) I LUV fruit & vegetables, as well as some of the other food you mentioned. Another thing I eat is Yoplait yogurt; I eat it everyday. That might be another suggestion. What about salad? I'd, of course, put dressing on the side. You could put fruit or chicken in the salad, maybe. ... View more

I remember once when my parents & I flew to ABQ (on SWA, of course!), & when we stepped off the jetway and on to the gate, & I noticed a TV crew walking by. At the hotel that night, I heard on the news a lady had given birth while flying over ABQ. I wonder why she was even flying then, unless she just absolutely had to. ... View more

Oh, good, Francisco & Raphael! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! ... View more

I thought of another pet peeve, & that is when people unfasten their seat belts before the Fasten Seat Belt sign goes off when the plane arrives & stops at the gate. I LUV SWA! 🙂 ... View more

I don't like it when people walk up to the "A", etc. lines to sit & wait to board long before the plane has arrived. Maybe that's silly, but it annoys me. ... View more

I don't know what made me think of this again now, but anyway, here it is. Last October, I'd arrived back at home from my first of two CSA interviews in CMH. After I'd picked up my check-in bag, I went down to the SWA ticket counter to see my two friends who work there. Later, a man (I'd say he was in his 20s) came to check in with his grandma; they were going to DAL. One of my friends checked them in, & the other had to go up to baggage services. The young man came up, introduced himself, & we visited briefly. I introduced myself, too. He then walked up to the counter for a few minutes, came back, and said, "Here. I want you to have this." He'd written his name, number, & address on a luggage tag! I said, "Okay, thanks" in a surprised voice. I didn't give him mine. Then, he & his grandma headed upstairs to the gate. My friend checking them in saw it, & I later told my other friend about it. I felt like there was something not quite right about the man & am glad I didn't give out my number, etc. My friend who checked them in noticed something different about him, too. I heard a story involving him, & our feelings were right! It was quite interesting! P.S. I have my pictures taken with some of the whole crew from several of my flights, & some of the pilots are cute! 🙂 One of them even looks like one of our former associate ministers! 🙂 SWA LUV! ...

Okay, Phil! I just had to ask. Ha, ha. :) USS Blog Boy, I hope I find someone again soon. Maybe if I don't look, it will happen when I least expect it. SWA LUV! ... View more

I'm a non-drinker, too; I forgot to add that. By the way, Joe, who is Ms. Dingboy? Ha, ha. I'm curious. 🙂 ... View more

Muskogee, OK (a medium-sized town about 45 miles SE of home) has an Azalea Festival at Honor Heights Park. I've not been for a long time, though. ... View more

Yes, Kim's right! I'm 30; well, really I'm 30 & 1/2. I would really LUV to find someone, though. Kim, my dad likes Coke, especially bottled. I like it too, but don't drink pop like I used to. I remember when my parents & I were in Israel, the pop cans were smaller. Well, maybe they were bigger; now I forgot. I want Colleen & Brian's autograph! I have Rose's (a CSA at MDW, who's on Airline) autograph on a boarding pass. I have a picture of us, too! 🙂 ... View more

Thanks, Bev. Yes, I figured that my RR credits would show up after I complete my trip. I can't wait to go & am counting down the months! SWA LUV from a future RSA, CSA, & FA! 🙂 ... View more

This is referring back to Jeramy's comment on pictures of me on a date with Francisco-that's a good one, Jeramy! I LUV it! 🙂 ... View more

Water, especially flavored, & juice are good. Of course, I don't mix the two. Ha, ha. 🙂 Yes, Oklahoma is a great state! TUL & OKC are great cities, too, definitely! Nope, Joe; Kim didn't run away when he saw me. 🙂 ... View more

Actually, I'm in TUL. There's certainly nothing wrong with OKC. 🙂 Francisco would probably run if he saw me. Ha, ha! 🙂 ... View more

Thanks for all you do, Francisco! Welcome home. 🙂 ... View more

I looked at my RR Account Snapshot. It said Next Scheduled Flight, & underneath in parentheses it said, "Purchases made while logged into my account." I made mine over the phone instead of online because the top two choices of flight times & I needed & wanted were full. It's still not showing up that I made reservations. I want to make sure I get credit, so I may have to wait until I check in to ask, unless someone will be kind & make a suggestion on how I can check before then. ... View more

That sounds like fun! I LUV to read. When I was in second, fourth, fifth, & maybe sixth (I forgot if I did it in sixth grade), I was in Junior Great Books. We, of course, read different stories & had discussions while eating lunch; I don't remember how many times a week we met, but it was fun! 🙂 ... View more

One story I have of great customer service is when FAs let me (after I asked) serve peanuts! Some of them gave me some fun things to add to my collection of merchandise! Also, I have two dear friends who work at my airport as a CSS & CSA; they've given me some neat things, too! 🙂 ... View more

Yea, Ralph! That's great! I remember how excited I was when I was called back for a second interview for RSA, CSA, & FA positions! Congratulations! ... View more

I have five RR credits (I wish I'd signed up for this a long time ago); I thought my upcoming trip to MCO would've already shown up under the Itineray section online, & it's not yet there. I know I said when I made reservations that I'm an RR member. SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

This reminds me-I've noticed the last time the Star of the Month was posted was October 2006. I'd like to see them being posted again, please. 🙂 I always enjoy reading them, especially ones on RSAs, CSAs, & FAs, since I want to be all of those! ... View more

I hope your Group Session & Interview went well today, Gregory! Southwest is my favorite airline & it's the only one I want to work for. It's been my dream & goal since elementary school, & I'm not giving up! Please keep us informed. :) Southwest is So Wonderfully Awesome 🙂 ... View more

Kim, if I were able to apply again now at SWA, I think it'd be neat if you & I could apply for FA & CSA positions! Well, you can, but I have to wait; I still want to try again, but it will be a few years. I don't want to give up, though! SWA LUV! ... View more

Maybe Brian & Kim could invent Candy Corn Dispensers, similar to Pez Dispensers, & they could be sold in grocery stores! :) Southwest Airlines is So Wonderfully Awesome! ... View more

Ha, ha Kim! That's funny! I LUV it! 🙂 I have to laugh. USS Blog Boy, we'll miss you & be glad when you're able to post again. Stay safe! Thanks for your address. ... View more

I'm disappointed about the rear-facing seats! 😞 Oh well, that's okay. Yes, Francisco, I LUV your idea of kids having their own section! That's funny. Let's send a letter to Gary about that. :) I fly SWA every time I can. Well, two years ago when I went to Baltimore (BWI), I flew another AAirline. Can you guess which one? Ha, ha. I could have, should have, & wish I'd flown SWA. Well, next time I go there I can. ... View more

I, too, always LUV taking pictures out of the airplane window! I'll be doing that again when I go to & from MCO in July. 🙂 ... View more

As an RR member, do I have to worry about not getting a seat on my already reserved trip to MCO in July? *Makes a scared face.* I hope not! ... View more

I became a Rapid Rewards member last year & have credits for some of my trips; I made reservations to fly to MCO in July (I did it over the phone rather than online) & told the RSA I'm a member. How can I check to see if I will get credits before I go? I'm just curious. :) SWA LUV! ... View more

That's a good idea, Francisco! I wonder who we could talk to about that? :) I don't (or at least I try not to, if possible) sit by crying kids (I don't remember ever having to, but maybe I'm wrong); I do remember, though, the second time I came home from Europe & on the flight from Frankfurt to DAL, a baby sat behind me; s/he actually did better than I thought, & it was a 10 hour, 45 minute, N/S flight. There was another child (a little bit older), who sat across the aisle & up a few rows. The mother walked him up & down the aisles a few times, but when it was time to land, they obviously couldn't walk then. The child cried quite a while! I admit, I'm glad I wasn't sitting next to or right across from them! Of course, though, kids might be quite at first, & then start crying during the flight. ... View more
