I am the wife of one of your pilots that will be forced to retire this June when he turns 60. Sadly he has only been with Southwest Airlines for 16 years and is not happy about the forced retirement. Having said that I want to say how very lucky we have been these past 16 years being a part of the "Southwest Family"! It has been a wonderful ride! I cannot think of a better company to work for! They have been wonderful to us! I am trying to plan my husbands' (Bud) retirement celebration but have no idea where to start! I want it to be special and Southwest Airlines all the way! He will be making his final trip from San Antonio to Orlando having a celebration in San Antonio. I'm thinking Mexican Restaurant or something. Reading this article helped some but I am desperate for any and all SW Airline Pilot Retirement ideas from the smallest to the most extreme! I have no idea what is traditional or specificley Pilot Retirement stuff. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! Fondly, Lenore Bradford
