Oh, that's okay, Bert! You deserve a day or two off. Thanks for the answer! :) SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 ... View more

*Jumps up & down & raises hand.* Pick me, please! I know the answer! "What is O'Hare International?" Correct, for $61,819.71! So, what's my prize? Free tickets? :) "Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar!" SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Congratulations! I remember an FA telling me last year when I arrived in CMH for my second CSA interview that SWA was going to open an FA base at LAS; I couldn't remember if she'd said it would be in 2007 or 2008. Now I know! *Has party & passes out cake, candy corn, peanuts, Just Plane Crackers, pretzels, & punch.* Thought for the day: Why are they called peanuts when there are no peas in them? SWA LUV! 🙂 ...

I LUV it, Linda! 🙂 That's a great story! Thank you for sharing it. So, can you interview me now for FA position, please? 🙂 No, this compliment isn't a bribe for an interview. I really do think it's a great story! SWA LUV! :) "Buy your clothes at Eskimo Joe's!" ... View more

I didn't think to add this earlier, Bert, but where do employees/Customers take shelter when at your airport when there's a tornado warning? Do you announce "Code Black?" Snap, Crackle, Pop! :) M & M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand! ... View more

Oh, wow! One of my friends, who's a CSS, once had stayed until the A.M. crew arrived. I don't remember why. I'd be exhausted! SWA LUV! :) Thought for the day: Was the person who came up with the Kit Kat a man named Kit who had a Kat (cat)? ... View more

Thanks for another interesting post, Bert! I do LUV storms, but I LUV flying SWA even more! What's the latest you've stayed at work due to severe weather? SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

I hope my post from the 29th (at 9:16 pm) doesn't scare anyone in the pool or wanting to submit their resumà ... View more

Aw, Artie! That's too bad you had to turn down the FA class of 2007, but I hope you try again! I've thought about signing (as in Sign Language) the next time I interview, whenever that is. I've thought about introducing myself in Sign Language & voicing what I say. I should try that when I interview again! "Paging Dr. Artie to surgery! Dr. Artie to surgery please!" (I know that's your first name). 🙂 Peace out, brotha's & sista's! 🙂 ... View more

I forgot to add that I LUV the candy corn! It looks great! :) SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 ... View more

Ah! That's funny! Ha, ha, ha! I LUV it! :) "For 8 on your side, I'm Leah Johns." SWA LUV, & Happy Halloween! 🙂 ... View more

This isn't flight related, but I remember a dorky question I asked a few years ago. When I was volunteering at one of my local hospitals, I saw a new mom leaving with her babies. I asked, "Are they twins?" Of course, as soon as I said it, I knew they were & felt like a dork head! It was funny! Ha, ha, ha. :) "We draw up the plans, do the legal type stuff so you'll have a place to work & if that's not enough!" "We can refit the gate, add a color TV. We can modify the counters now, don't you see?" "When Herb says we're going to another new city, then we don't worry it'll all be ready!" Well, I better go to bed now! Zzzzzzz. SWA LUV! 🙂 ...

Oh, Carole, I didn't make that ditty up. It's in the video, "Just Plane Shuffle." I have it at home & have watched it so much I have it memorized! :) I received an email response from Eric Hoevers today. He used to be an Inflight Recruiter. We've talked & I emailed him a few weeks ago, telling him when I plan to reapply. He said in this email they won't be hiring again until next year, but couldn't give an exact date. It depends on what SWA is doing operationally & how many are waiting in the pools. Last year, when I was going for one of my FA interviews, I was wearing one of my many SWA shirts. When I was going through security at my airport, one of the security people asked me if I had my flight ID with me! Of course, I had to say no. I wish I did! We can dress up on Halloween at work, so I'm dressing up as an FA/a CSA! I'll wear a pair of khakis, my newest SWA polo, Nike shoes, & wings! I can't wait! 🙂 ... View more

Ah, thanks Carole! 🙂 It's actually been a little over a year since my one-on-one. It was August 23, 2006. I actually can't decide if I want to reapply next February (by then, I'll have been at my current job a year), or if I want to wait a little longer. "They start off clean & they come back dirty!" "But we're always here, so you needn't worry!" "'Cause when they come in all full of junk, we get right on 'em & we spruce 'em up!" "We clean 'em real good & we're not too pokey, so don't get in the way of the Super Hokey!" SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! 🙂 ... View more

I have a serious question, Carole. Can you please tell me when SWA will be hiring again for FAs? 🙂 I still will send in my resumà ... View more

I wish I could get pictures with the Blog Team & their autographs! I'll have to find out who the winner is! Channel 2 works for you! SWA LUV 🙂 ... View more

Oh, Miss! Can you please tell me what city we'll be landing in? :) Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids! SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Welcome back to the Blog, Carole! *Throws party.* I've missed your posts! They're always great. This one is funny! :) SWA LUV! ... View more

Oh, well that's even better, Dr. "Candy Corn" Blog Boy! 🙂 So, have people been asking for your & Paula's autographs now? "We schedule the people that make up your Crew!" "For ontime departures, we do it for you!" "What's that, someone sick? Well that's alright. We hope they feel better, we can cover that flight!" "If there's a no show, no need to worry! Reserves have beepers, we can call them in a hurry!" SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! :) I have Southwest spirit, yes I do! I have Southwest spirit, how about you? Yea! *Jumps up & down & waves pom poms.* ... View more

My hometown of TUL was in August's Spirit magazine! 🙂 One of my dear friends who works as a CSS at the TUL airport autographed my copy of it. Also, a picture of my church was in with the article. SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Have you ever been somewhere (say, the store, maybe) before/after work with your ID (forgetting you have it on) & the cashier or whomever says, "Hi!" & calls you by name? Then you think, "How did s/he know my name?" & you realize you have on your ID? 🙂 "We're glad you're here with your final destination!" "We'll check your bags without hesitation!" "If you need some help getting to your gate, let us know and we'll take you so you won't be late!" "Good day Mrs. Jones, have a nice flight. Come on back, we'll treat you right!" Well, I must GTB (Go To Bed) now! Tonight, I will dream SWA hires me! :) SWA LUV! ... View more

So, Blog Boy-where did you get your PhD? Did you go to UCC-University of Candy Corn? Ha, ha. I couldn't resist! 🙂 Anyways, congratulations again! Question to think about: Why is a carved pumkin called a jack o'lantern? I know that you can see the candle (or even flashlight) in it. I should do some research on this! 🙂 ... View more

Yes, Rebecca! I think so, too. It will happen! :) Ahh, an English teacher-I'm seriously a stickler for correct grammar! :) Thought for the day: Did you know that if you add another "l" to the word salad (& capitalize the "D") you get Dallas spelled backwards? ... View more

Ha, ha! I said "too" & "also" in the same sentence; I certainly didn't mean to do that! I enjoy being around & working with people, talking, laughing, joking, & having a good time! "Double double cheese cheese burger burger please!" 🙂 ... View more

Rebecca, you're not the only one who wants to become a part of the SWA family! 🙂 I really enjoy what I do & have lots of fun, but I'm just ready for next February to get here; that's when I plan to resubmit my resumà ... View more

I messed up. I should have said mine is this: No ifs, ands, or bets about it-Southwest Airlines is always the best way to travel! "More Ovaltine please!" SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

I submitted my caption, but the only idea I came up with is this: No ifs, ands, or bets about it-Southwest Airlines is always the best airline to travel! I wish I could have thought of something else. Oh, well. That one just kept coming to mind. Question to think about: Since there is a combination of breakfast & lunch called brunch, why is there not a combination of lunch & dinner that could be called lunner, or linner? SWA LUV! 🙂 ...

This is one of many reasons why I want to (& will, because I'm determined & not giving up!) work for SWA! 🙂 It's nice to see an airline that does good work for others. I don't know why, but this post reminds me of volunteer work one semester when I was in college. The first semester (I was a transfer student), I did volunteer work once a week at the Oklahoma School for the Deaf, which is in a small town half an hour away from where I was attending school. The only times I didn't go were when I had a test coming up & during breaks/holidays. I went on Wednesday afternoons, after morning classes, for three hours; it was rewarding & fun 🙂 & I miss it. 😞 After that semester, though, my schedules weren't were I could continue; plus, I was even busier with school work. Question to ponder: Why is it called a sandwich when it's not made out of sand? :) SWA LUV! 🙂 ... View more

Oh, good one! 🙂 That's too funny. Interesting fact: The FOIL method in Math is First, Outside, Inside, Last (even though I've never used Algebra since I graduated from high school & college, I remember that!). ... View more
