I found your web page blog through my brother-in-law. What a great description of visiting Boeing's plant in Renton. As a member of the flying public, I always try and choose Southwest since it's such a well-run company. Keep up the good work.
On a personal note, years ago my son and I (who was 12 years old at the time) had the opportunity to help Phil Cavello (sp?) (former Southwest flight attendant) produce a video for Southwest employees. It was made to help raise money for a great Dallas charity - Challenge Air. The Southwest employees at headquarters were wonderful to work with. They allowed my son the opportunity to sit behind one of the 737 training simulators while I recorded some on-camera interviews. Being that he had been totally immersed into airplanes and flying since he was 4 years old, that proved to be a huge, exciting experience for him. In fact, he started flying planes at age 13, soloed at 16, and received his multi-engine and instrument rating when he was 18. Well, my son is 25 now and works as an Aerospace Engineer at the Renton Boeing facility. He continues to fly privately and loves what he does. These days, if's refreshing to experience the outstanding customer service of both Boeing and Southwest Airlines. Here's to continued success!
