I started my career at Southwest in May of 2001. Since I was entering into the Technology side of the business, my experience was enjoyable in an entirely different way.
As I was shown the way to my new desk, I was surprised and delighted to find approximately 50 computer hard drives hanging over my desk and balloons everywhere. My co-workers had provided me with a unique welcome experience. After clearing the area so I could sit down, I realized they had also managed to supply me with the absolute oldest, ancient computer they could find.
My new team was a blessing. They led me through the hallways of Headquarters and amazed me with the history of the company. I work with some of the smartest people I have ever met. I am still a part of the same group 5 years later and have enjoyed the wealth of knowledge the team has to offer.
It's not "just a job", it's an experience. My kids commonly refer to the planes as "Daddy's planes" and they love to meet the Pilots every time we fly.
LUV,
