I don't know if this post is really in the right place....seemed ok....
I'm a scaredy cat flier and I'll only fly southwest because I trust you. To me, you pilots are rock stars and everytime I see one of
you sitting at the gate I am always dying to ask...
1. Do you get bored flying the same route over and over? It doesn't sound like it...seems like the same trip can offer lots of
different experiences, depending when you fly. I just wondered if maybe you feel like you are driving a bus..same routes
day after day....
2. If you are flying with us regular folks and some nervous nellie like me ended up sitting next to you, would you mind if I asked
you questions? You have no idea how fascinating pilots and flying are to me (and many others it seems)....but on the other
hand, I always wonder if really you just want a peaceful flight. I talk a lot when I get nervous.
I'm sure I could think of more goofy stuff to ask. When I exit whatever flight I'm on I always hope I get the chance to thank the pilots.
And I really mean it when I say thanks. It's amazing that you get what (to me) is essentially a fricking building and
put it in the air and then land it with ease. Rock stars.
oh sometimes I wish ya'll would talk more to the pax. I know you kinda have your minds on other important things. but when it gets
bumpy and I'm crapping my pants its soooo nice to hear the pilot say "there's nothing to worry about..."
Anyway I really appreciate southwest and keep up the good work.
