Southwest Airlines Community

Sounds like a great way to complicate boarding, and lose SW's competitive advantage of short turnarounds.   It's not opening night at the opera, folks. It's a bus. ... View more

I love southwest.. I am a college student who has attended three different universities, and taken countless cross country flights. At first I had a typical love/hate realtionship with southwest.. cheap tickets-love it.. small airplane-hate it. UNTIL I flew Northwest and AirTran and US Airways only to realize.. I loved southwest. COmpletely and utterly loved southwest. They have the largest seats, and some of the newest airplanes because while everyone else is going bankrupt.. they are actually running a terrific business. I LOVE YOU SOUTHWEST!!! ... View more

how do i get a flight attendant job? ... View more

Steven, Even though we're not hub-and-spoke, we, too put the majority of our Maintenance resources in what we call our "mega Stations" (i.e., the biggest ones). We do our heavy maintenance--and have hangars--in Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and now Chicago Midway. However, we also have Southwest Maintenance Employees in a number of other large and medium size cities to do the overnight checks and just be there to fix minor mechanical issues. Those are located in Baltimore, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Oakland, Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, and Tampa. Overnight checks are pretty easy to route aicraft into, because (1) we don't do any overnight flying, (2) the cities listed above combined have about 50% of our aircraft overnighting there (260 total out of a total flying fleet of 500 aircraft), and the overnight "A" checks only have to be done once each 7 days. The more involved "B/C" checks take longer, and we have to build special routings into the schedule to allow Maintenance Control to easily get aircraft into those checks as needed, which is about once every 3 to 4 months. Thanks for the question! ... View more

Southwest flight attendants are the best! I collect airline things...Is there anyway I could get one of those demo vests? ... View more

I love you guys! I travel quite frequently for work and try to use Southwest as much as possible. I love the "Cattle Call" boarding I think its great! Its so much fun to watch all the crazy people line up like kids in grade school and try to figure out what place they are supposed to be in line. The flight attendants are great, so much fun! It seems like you guys are really doing something right, its so amazing to see how much your airline has grown over the past few years. I find the seats to be more roomy and more comfortable than any other airline. I look forward to flying Southwest ALWAYS! My home airport is Lost Wages, Nevada and I love that you have the entire "C" Terminal. C is for "Cattle Class" and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Please don't change a thing! You stand out from all the rest! ... View more
