I started the Company and I still can't smoke inflight.

Robin Sell — Fri, 07/21/2006 - 23:15

What do you mean there is no row 24?

"Our planes are SO full that I have to ride out here. At least I can smoke!"

Terry Lessig — Sat, 07/22/2006 - 03:40

They don't even wait for me on the connections.

"This is a non smoking flight, so for those of you that would like to smoke you will have to step outside!"

#1. Despite giving up his seat to a customer, Herb is still able to make it to the annual meeting on time.

#2. Look up in the sky! It's a bird... no, it's a plane... well, it's a plane, but it's also...

PyTom — Sat, 07/22/2006 - 14:22

"With assigned seating, I could be inside the plane enoying a nice JB on the rocks."
or
"Our Chairman does his darndest to ensure we arrive on-time."
or
"This is not what we mean by, "Ding, you are now free to move about the country."

Rob F. — Sat, 07/22/2006 - 15:55

This is the closest Herb ever came to walking away from Wild Turkey.

Yanqui Gho Hohm — Sat, 07/22/2006 - 16:02

Someone told me "Gone With the Wind" was playing in the smoking lounge outside. HELP!

Yanqui Gho Hohm — Sun, 07/23/2006 - 00:41

Angela Fernandez — Sun, 07/23/2006 - 06:10

Lou — Sun, 07/23/2006 - 14:04

"Have you seen my shoes?"

Adam Phillabaum — Sun, 07/23/2006 - 23:21

After standing in line for almost an hour to get a seat (absolutely ridiculous!),I should be SITTING on the back wing!

david bliss — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 00:36

So this is what they mean when they say "OPEN SEATING"!!!!

Scott — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 01:25

It's not only customers who are "blown away" by the Southwest Experience

After consuming too much Wild Turkey on a flight, Herb is " hung out to dry"!

Pete Scaltrito — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 03:31

"Okay, YOU are the funniest SWA employee, now please let me back inside the plane!"

Darlene — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 05:02

Oh bleeeeeep, I forgot to stop by the phone booth and change into my Super Hero costume (Southwest Man) before I got on this bleeeeeepin' airplane!
PS Hey Herb, I luv your SW Spirit as always....you make me lol

Candy M Jones — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 06:05

Okay, I believe you -- this new form of Super Glue really DOES work. NOW could you please land this plane and unstick me?

Kim Seale — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 13:07

"Herb! What do you mean margins are down on higher fuel costs? I have a special overseas assignement for you."

Damon — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 13:50

NRSA means NonRevenue Space-Available, Herb. You know paying passengers have priority !!!

I see the area around your feet is clear. Thank You.

Didn't you meet the Exit Row Seat Criteria?

Great Fun ... Steve S., SLC

Steve S. — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 18:03

It's been 35 years and I still don't know how to get into one of these things when I have to take a flight!

Tommy Blog — Mon, 07/24/2006 - 22:05

There has to be a better way to stop these planes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin Haake — Tue, 07/25/2006 - 00:16

Wait for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toni Baughman — Tue, 07/25/2006 - 14:52

#1. I am out here because I lost an arm-wrestling match.

#2. I was a minute late, and they had already shut the doors. But I grabbed onto the plane and will make it home on time.

#3. This is better than riding a motorcycle.

#4. The flight attendants caught me smoking in the bathroom again.

Chris Baker — Tue, 07/25/2006 - 15:00

"I said I would help clean the plane, but this is ridiculous. I meant the inside."

Frankie Ninete — Sun, 07/30/2006 - 01:43

beverage?

melinda — Mon, 07/31/2006 - 00:48

Leave nobody behind!

Greg — Mon, 07/31/2006 - 22:45

Suggestion:
Instead of charging for ailse seats and emergency row seats, try charging for large on board bags that passengers jam into the overhead bins. The roll type bags are becoming a standard rather than the last minute boarding which it was originally intended for. I believe there are many bags that would not fit into those "measured" boxes that used to be at the boarding gates.

Glenda K Wolfer — Tue, 08/01/2006 - 13:09

I just flew in from Dallas and boy are my arms tired...

No shirt, no shoes, no service.

Glenn Wilmoth — Thu, 08/03/2006 - 04:44

Even Herb himself is blown away by the service you receive at Southwest Airlines!

Matt S — Thu, 08/03/2006 - 05:46
