Going Green: Make Your Own Cleaners!

By: Laurel Moffat lmoffat

Oct 02 2012
If baking soda in my fridge keeps my food fresh, and it’s in my toothpaste to make my smile bright, I recently wondered what other world problems it could solve in my own home.  Just so happens, you can save green while you clean green.  Here are a few ways to do that. DIY Cleaners:  With three parts of baking soda to one part of water, you can scour those surfaces in your home.... read more

Holly's On-The-Road Workout Plan

By: Holly Hansen hhansen

Sep 26 2012
Traveling doesn’t always mean taking a vacation from your workout, does it?  During my seven years of working as a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines, I’ve found a variety of ways to work-out in my home away from home! Of course, most hotels have a complimentary gym, but what if it is crammed full of people, doesn’t offer enough equipment, or have the size weights you need?  Well,... read more

Flashback Fridays: A Look at Early 737-200 Delivery Flights

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Sep 07 2012
Taking delivery of a new aircraft is a “big deal.”  I’ve been fortunate to have traveled to Seattle to pick up two new aircraft, and for an avgeek like me, it is an exciting time.  Even if the aircraft is “just another 737-700,” that aircraft will remain “yours” as long as it is flying—my two are N436WN and N215WN.  For this edition of “Flashback Fridays,” we are going to turn the... read more

Texas Rangers Hit a Home Run with Southwest Customers!

By: Christi McNeill cday

Aug 21 2012
Today our Customers had a very special treat waiting for them at Dallas Love Field.   As the Official Airline of the Texas Rangers, a few of our favorite Rangers pitchers were on hand to “relieve” Southwest Airlines Employees by marshaling in a Southwest Airlines 737, unloading baggage from the aircraft, and greeting Customers as they arrived at Dallas Love Field. The players included... read more

Jul 20 2012
Disco balls, scantily clad women; you will find neither of these in the SWA Stewdio 54.  What you will find is: schedule openings, Honor Flights, my Valentine's Date in Chicago, more schedule openings, On The Fly, Mat Kearney, Live at the Vineyard, Dish Trip, and ice cream.  And although she does fine work, Taylor is not my secretary.   read more

Flashback Fridays: Generations

By: Sandy Nelson snelson

Mar 29 2013
I think that this “Best of” Flashback Fridays, which originally ran on July 13, 2012, is the perfect pick for this week, but that doesn’t mean it was an easy choice to make.  I must admit that it was always one of my favorites, since Brian shared not only his ever-present knowledge of airports and airplanes, but also, in this one, his personal memories of his Dad.  It’s clear... read more

Going Green: The Paper Towel Challenge

By: Heather Hearne Walker hhearnewalker

Jul 10 2012
Does anyone out there like to challenge themselves as the years go by?  Take oneself to a new level?  I feel that now that I am a parent, I am tending to do this more and more.  I think it's healthy and makes life more enjoyable when you don't always know what will come next.  Blogging for instance has been my recent challenge to myself.  I have enjoyed writing and... read more

If you love penguins (who doesn’t?!), you’ll want to tune in to TLC’s newest episode of On The Fly tonight at 9/8c.  Two of Southwest’s most special Feathered Frequent Flyers show off their waddle as they take to the skies, only on Southwest Airlines, of course. Pete and Penny Penguin and their SeaWorld San Diego Aviculturists fly Southwest all over the country to... read more

Liberty Takes Flight

By: Brooks Thomas bthomas

Jul 03 2012
I've never seen an American bald eagle in person.  When Southwest was called with the opportunity to carry our national bird from St. Louis to Kansas City's Independence Day celebration, it was almost as if I said 'yes' purely for personal reasons.   The beautiful bird, Liberty, made that voyage last night.  Flying Southwest has its perks, even for animals. Liberty sat in... read more

Heat and thunderstorms will be the main weather concerns this week. Although temperatures have decreased a bit since last week and the weekend, above normal temperatures still continue for a large portion of the nation, with many temperatures still in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Occasional thunderstorms also will be prominent for much of the country, including the Northern and Central Plains,... read more
