I was working for JPMorganChase five years ago. I remember the morning to be like any other at first. Reconciling accounts, cutting checks, etc. Then one of my reports told me what happend at the World Trade Center. I immediately thought about my boss, who's partner worked in the North Tower on the 98th Floor. I ran to her office to find her crying, and continuously pressing the "talk" and "end" buttons on her cell phone. She looked up at me and said "She won't answer." Right after that, her bosses came and took her to a conference room and I never saw her again for several days. I am not sure why it took me so long, but it wasn't until a week later, that I was driving home from the gym and I just began to sob in my car. All I could think about was my friend and boss who lost the person she loved and thought would spend the rest of their lives together. Life is too short.

Hi Gary, As a flight attendant and proud SWA employee, I will always support any decision that our company makes in regards to the future of our airline. Having said that, I also feel that it is our unique qualities and concern for customer satisfaction over profit that separates us from the big name carriers. That is what we are known for...our personal and warm touch to an ever growing cold world of aviation and travel. We all recognize what a fine a line we stride when it comes to trying to maintain a profit and keep the public happy. I hope that whatever decision is made in regards to seating as well as other future endeavors, will be made with the one thing in mind we have always stuck to, providing POSITIVELY OUTRAGEOUS SERVICE to our customers and keeping them happy and coming back. After all, we are the spirit of Southwest...it's what we do best!!! ... View more
