I never had the honor of meeting him, but that doesn't mean I can't miss him. Paul In CRP ... View more

You can't help but LUV this young man for what he's doing. Whenever I read about stories like this, my mind "drifts" a bit to Matthew 25:40 🙂     Paul In CRP ... View more

Thank you for your service, and for choosing to fly for my favorite airline.     Paul in CRP ... View more

Happy birthday Otto. We just know that you'll do an excellent job for whatever human you eventually get paired with. Lucky the Lab-mix and Bear the Black & Tan Doxie, in CRP PS: Don't say anything to our human, because he doesn't know we're posting this 😉 ... View more

When I first saw the headline for this story, I had to look twice when I saw the name "David Holmes" because my first thought was that it was in reference to Southwest's famous "Rapping FA."  😉   Maybe next time I read an article, I'll remember to put my glasses on 😉     Paul in CRP ... View more

Your son clearly has a talent in addition to his LUV of aircraft, so I offer you a tiny yet important piece of advice. Take it, embrace it, run with it, and never look back.       Paul in CRP ... View more

To the pilot, you have planted a seed that will grow into a rewarding career. To Hudson's mom, Hudson clearly has a passion, and there's only one thing you can do about it. Take it, embrace it, run with it, and never look back. To Hudson's Granda. Sharing the love of flight is a priceless gift. And most importantly, to Herb and Colleen...see what you started? ;-) Paul In CRP ... View more

This is a perfect example of what happens when you encourage and empower your employees to be caring individuals :-) Paul In CRP ... View more

Having been trained in disaster and emergency communications, I can't help but smile when I read of companies like Southwest going the extra mile to help others in times of crisis, especially when it involves an organization like the American Red Cross, which I might add has helped us in the past after experiencing a fire and flood. Well-done Southwest :-) Paul Ahkolik, Radio Amateur W5PDA ... View more

I hope I'm at least half as positive as James was when my time comes :-) Thank you for sharing. LUV and prayers, from my family to yours. Paul In CRP ... View more

Once again, a humble thank you to those with SWA who serve my favorite charity. And on a personal note, a hearty thank you to the Salt Lake City house for being such a gracious, loving, caring and understanding host. Paul In CRP, uncle to Angela Maria Gonzalez, born asleep. ... View more

Welcome to the best airline in North America Rob :-) Paul in CRP ... View more

Years ago when I drove a taxi in Reno, I played a very minor role in a wish, by transporting a boy's manual and electric wheelchairs in my (wheelchair-accessible) taxi so he could ride in one of our limos, from RNO airport to his home out in the boonies. I don't remember the airline involved, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was SWA :-) Paul in CRP ... View more

I miss Brian's style of writing...it made it possible for you to imagine you were actually there when it happened. Paul In CRP ... View more

I've been lucky enough to fly on the 732/732 ADV with five carriers, including SWA. Back in those days, I'd always ask to sit just behind the wing, so I could watch the reverse thrust buckets open after touchdown.....that roar will live on in my memory until the end of my days :-) Paul In CRP ...

You forgot the best part. Getting your picture taken with bomb pops 🙂 ... View more

I've read a good number of articles and comments on this incident, and raised my eyebrows at some of the comments' intelligence (or lack thereof) and have come to an inescapable conclusion. Some people aren't seeing the bigger picture, such as one incident like this in a gazillion flights on a particular airline such as Southwest, or their overall safety record. For what it's worth, my faith in Southwest to get me to my destination safely has never wavered, from the time I first flew with my parents (the era of the 732) to the time I first flew alone, to the present. My budget doesn't permit me to travel very often, but if I had to fly somewhere, I promise you that my first search for an airline booking would be on southwest.com, and my flight (barring bad weather) would be no less enjoyable than the first.
