In regards to the time we could result in the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.
The genius of the good leader is to forget him an issue which sound judgment, minus the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.

Another SWA fanboy ringing in on this. I’ve been a big fan since college when you could go to any local ATM machine, pay $10, and the ATM would print a “quicket” which was a standby pass on any Southwest flight. No airline security back in those days, you showed the gate attendant your quicket and on the plane you went.

The other thing I like are the flight attendants and pilots. They know what separates LUV from the majors is that they aren’t just selling seats, they are selling fun.

Good job Herb Kelleher!

Huge trip planned last month to head to Maui, Hawaii for a conference October 11-16. I had never been there before and had the pleasure of going with two girl friends for the ultimate girl trip. We were scheduled to fly with Delta Airlines there and back with a layover in DFW and LAX each way. Needless to say, it was the trip from HELL. We flew from Little Rock to DFW only to be trapped on a huge plane for 2 hours and 20 minutes. At that point they had to let people off the plane even though we were going to be leaving shortly. In the end, they made us all get off the plane, with our carry on luggage and then an hour later re-board with all our same carry on luggage. It was a disaster. Over 52 people missed their connecting flight to Hawaii out of LAX and we were treated with zero kindness and customer service from Delta Airlines once we arrived in LA to find we weren’t getting on a plane until 5pm the next day. We had to call and cancel our room in Maui and thankfully they did not charge us for this, but I am sure not eveyone was so lucky. We flew home on the red-eye back to LAX and from there back to DFW only to miss our flight to Little Rock on Delta once again. Every plane was over booked by 2 to 4 people and it was impossible for us to get home. We ended up having to fly to Memphis and rent a car there to drive to Little Rock. Once we arrived in Little Rock, there was no one working the baggage claim area at Delta. The only one with a person inside was South West Airlines. I have never had a more terrible experience in my life using Delta. South West has never caused these types of problems when using them in the past and I vow to never use anyone else unless I absolutely have to. Thank god for South West Airlines. Noone else compares.

It’s so nice to have your blogging again. Part of why I feel such a connection to you are your family is not only the shared interest in tech and media but these spaces share the stories and images that make lovely personal connections.

Growing up in AR and having a large part of my family in Houston I was a frequent passenger myself. I even got to fly in the Shamu plan a couple of times.

They are a company that just gets “it” in so many ways. Glad you shared this. I missed your writing.

Flew SWA a ton myself. My Mom worked for them while their big call center was still here. Most entertaining seat belt and oxygen mask instructions ever.

Actually interviewed in Dallas for a scholarship there with Southwest’s CEO, Herb Kelleher. Most fun, unassuming interview I’ve had, to this day.

I the story of how someone discovers new music. Yours made me smile just because it had a big enough impact to get written about.

I’ll just add one quick bit about Nick Drake.

For me, it was the strings arrangements that sucked me in. His voice and songwriting yes, but I heard those strings and said ‘now THAT is how you use a string section’. Blew me away.

That’s all :)
