As many of you may know, Southwest Airlines partnered with the Center for Citizen Leadership last November to endow two Fellowships in honor of two Southwest Employees who gave their lives in the current war-- Sergeant Charles B. Kitowski III, U.S. Army and Sergeant First Class Michael T. Fuga, Army National Guard.

If you’ve ever flown Southwest Airlines, you know our Flight Crews like to joke around. They rap, they sing, they dance. So when one of our Pilots introduces himself as “Captain Kirk,” most people give a little chuckle. Little do they know we actually have three Captain Kirks in the Southwest Family--Captain David Kirk, Captain Steve Kirk, and Captain Scott Kirk. 

I get to do some pretty cool things in my role at Southwest Airlines. This fall, I got to be a part of an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition episode! That show leaves me crying like a baby every Sunday night, so I was excited to be a part of it.

On a recent trip to Austin, I took a few minutes to ask Employees what they like about their jobs at Southwest Airlines. With the current economic environment, you might think job security would be the first thing out of their mouths. While I’m sure that’s on the list, you might be surprised to hear what Employees had to say.
