Well said Patty. Nice response Chris. I gotta tell you though, while you may not be the leader of this activity, and while your apology is heartfelt, I hope this one gets legs. With thousands of our men and women dying in military service around the world, this is the last thing those who survive combat need to come home to. Who do these employees think they are? These troops just served our country. They don't need to come home to a bunch of people whose freedom they did battle for, chanting their enthusiasm for their job while they take a break from flying around the world and when all they really want to see is their family. As a proud retired member of the armed forces, former Captain at an airline that flew hundreds of troop movements, this is disgraceful. Southwest spirit or otherwise, this is classless and pathetic. Interesting how Southwest's pilots wear the US flag on their ties, the same flag their own people just put below their own personal, individual and apparently corporate-encouraged enthusiasm.
