Southwest Airlines has a long-standing history of being a good corporate neighbor. We try to “Share the Spirit” in all the 68 cities we serve; it’s something we’ve done from the very beginning. Since 1971, Southwest has built a reputation for supporting the needs of our communities, and it’s always nice to be recognized for our achievements.

This is my 76th episode and it is also a first. For the past two days we have been collecting answers to the question: "Why You'd Rather Be Drinking Wine than Working" in celebration of our new addition of Coastal Ridge Chardonnay and Coastal Ridge Merlot to our in-flight beverage offerings.

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.
