Southwest Airlines Community

I have been flying with Southwest since its first year. First flight was from Love Field to San Antonio and back to visit a customer. Walking out the ramp I was handed a fifth of Wild Turkey by none other that Herb himself. Being a Scotch drinker I unfortunately gave it away. A few years later I was on a flight where he was  helping the crew clean up the plane. An amazing man who created an amazing aairline. I wish him a great, beautifu and Blessed journey.   ...

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

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

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

Here we are in 2017, and people are STILL trying to use these expired coupons...on the back of those no expiration date coupons in small print yes, but it says this program can be discontinued at any time. If you want a drink so bad, they are the least expensive in the industry-$5! Or complete 10flights and you will get a new book.  If you haven't flown 10 flights with SWA in the last 7 years then you probably aren't as loyal of a customer as you say you are, so please just pay the minimal charge of $5.  I rode on another airline recently and $85 to upgrade to a bulkhead seat, $40 to bring my bag on, $30 to check one, and a Coke&a bag of nuts cost me $8.99 credit card only!  The "adult beverages ranged from $8-$12!!!  I LUV SWA!!!      ...

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

Brian Lusk will be missed dearly. I had the opportunity to meet him while I was a SWA Intern and his passion for the airline industry is admirable. I will always remember his ‘Maryland One’ Southwest Boeing 737 model on his desk. Seeing that model on my first day at Southwest was a clear reminder that I would fit right in. He did a fantastic job of sharing photos and stories of Southwest's rich history. ... View more

Yet another reason for me to LUV this airline :-) Paul In CRP ... View more
