Yes, they are a great airline!! Thanksgiving weekend of 1994, I met my husband-to-be in a Southwest gate in Amarillo, TX. In our conversation, we found that we had a lot in common -- we were both pilots and both sang barbershop! We carried on our romance between San Antonio and Dallas for several months, and then he asked Southwest for permission to propose to me in the seats where we met. They decorated the seats and the window with red crepe paper, placed "Reserved" signs in the backs of the seats, and had champagne and two glasses on the seats for us. After I said yes, the Amarillo Sweet Adelines chorus serenaded us, singing "I Don't Know Why I Love You Like I Do." It was a memorable experience! We were married July 1 of that year. Oh -- and he was 64 and I was 57 when we met! We have had 16 wonderful years together.
