Congrats to past Hero's of the Heart... I was a part of Systems when we won in 1998 (still have my coveted black jacket too). Few can beat Southwest Airlines when it comes to recognizing it's employees. Still miss u guys.
LUV,
Michael
Washington, DC
Congratulations to all! That's great! Please post this year's winner! By the way, what does FLIFO stand for?
"At Home Depot, you can do it. We can help."
SWA LUV! :)
Leah
FLIFO stands for Flight Information. It is a small group of Employees who tracks our flight times.
Brian
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a blog team win. :)
Oh, I see! That makes sense. Thanks, Blog Boy! :)
"I'm thinking Arby's".
SWA LUV! :)
Leah,
I worked there for 8 years and never once had a cowboy hat appear on my head. I must have done something wrong!
Would you like an apple or cherry turnover for dessert?
Ding!
boy
roast
beef
joe!
Oh, surely not, Ding! Boy Joe. I'd LUV a cherry turnover, please! Thanks! :) I'll exercise again tonight.
I remember reading about Heroes of the Heart in my book, Nuts!
Thought for the day: Why is it called chili when it's hot food? :)
SWA LUV!
