Awesome! I love this guy! He does a great job representing you all!
This kind of stuff is why Southwest will always be my business success story "hero"! You all have figured it out...and you keep making it better!

Excellent presentation of one of the most boring topics in the universe -- GAAP.

When is southwest airlines coming to Australia? I'd fly with you!

If only all shareholder meetings included a bit of educational entertainment. Very well executed.

Brilliant follow up the original rap. I love the fact that your CEO has truly embraced this and is having fun with what has become a bit of an Internet phenomenum. And yes, give David a raise he he generated so much positive PR for free!
Love this story so much I've blogged about it in the UK http://eibsocialmedia.blogspot.com/
thanks
