"Flying On The Side" |

What a great video for General Aviation ... not to mention it's narrated by Harrison Ford!
Brian asked me recently if I had been doing much flying outside of Southwest.

I've always loved watching the Olympics, but the '88 Olympics in Korea were my favorite so far. I got a 52" TV just before they started and I remember it feeling like I was there ... on the track, in the pool, on the field of play. Of course that was before HDTV.
This year is my first Olympics with an HDTV. I can hardly wait.
As a kid, I hated the summer Olympics. We had five television channels, and every single one of them showed the Olympics for three weeks straight. No Smurfs. No Looney Tunes. No Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Just a bunch of boring adults doing boring things like running and swimming. I did those things every day and didn't understand why it was such a big deal to watch other people doing it. Categories: Working at Southwest Aug 09, 2008 |

I saw Kim in the hall the other day and officially welcomed him to Southwest. Congrats to Joe, too.
And congrats to Paula and you on your new titles.
And, by the way, I wouldn't call ZaSu Pitts a forgotten star. I often think about how great she was as Gale Storm's wacky side-kick on the early TV show, Oh Suzanna! (later the Gale Storm Show). A lot of people don't realize that Love Boat wasn't the first TV show set on a cruise ship!
Blackie Sherrod, one of the best sportswriters ever to have pounded a typewriter (remember them) in this area, used to devote some of his columns to odds and ends (that weren’t necessarily sports related), and he would start off the column with this line: “Scattershooting while wondering what happened to ZaSu P |

Serenading Colleen |
|
You never know what's going to happen when our Culture Committee Members from all 64 cities get together for their Quarterly Meeting. At our June meeting, Wayne Campbell, a Manager at our San Jose Provisioning Base, decided to serenade Colleen because it was her last such meeting as President of Southwest. As always, he did a great job! Categories: Nutty stuff, Southwest Culture, Working at Southwest Jul 22, 2008 |
