The Proof is in the Folding

By: Brooks Thomas bthomas

Aug 02 2012
I am not a folder. Can't fold clothes. I very frequently miss the mark on a half or tri-fold; rarely even use folders, and those fold for you.  In each month's Spirit Magazine, there is an origami design.  If you're like me, you scoff at the instructions (which scoff right back, by the way).  The instructions' step-by-step process seems so easy, which makes failure that much... read more

Behind the Scenes of "On The Fly" - Week Three, Joey's Journey

By: Verity Kugelmann vkugelmann

Jun 08 2012
Last November, our Social Media Team noticed a post on our Facebook page from Joey the Two-Legged Chihuahua" that said, "Hey Southwest, I was rescued from euthanasia and I am going to Denver in December to get a new life and a mobility device from Ortho Pets. I need all the help I can get."  This post, plus the picture below, got our immediate attention. Joey is a 9-month-old Chihuahua... read more

[CONTEST ALERT] Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

By: Brooks Thomas bthomas

Mar 09 2012
Some people have a burning desire to do drastic things; to throw caution to the wind and maybe join the circus. Others have a fiery passion for thrill-seeking. Others still are content to simply read about heroic feats. You won't catch me on a trapeze, nor will I don a flying suit.  I'm not much of a reader, either.  I'm somewhere in the middle. But I'm a fan of literal interpretation.... read more

Going Green: Spring Forward

By: Marilee McInnis minnis

Mar 13 2012
Happy Green Tuesday, everyone!  Since I am not a morning person, Daylight Saving Time each spring is a hard one for me—it seems to be happening earlier and earlier!  Well, that’s because of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which mandated a month-long extension of Daylight Saving Time starting in 2007. Daylight Saving Time is somewhat controversial in that some believe this change in time... read more

By: Dish Trip Team DishTrip

Feb 04 2012
Oh, the "Big Game"—the one day of the year when people throw caution to the wind and sit down in front of their televisions for a hearty feast of heavy food, washed down with cases of beer. If you are not headed to Indianapolis on the LUV airline to watch this year’s football championship in person, keep reading for some of Dish Trip’s favorite Bowl bites that will leave you satisfied while... read more

36 Hours By Heart

By: Alan Bamberg abamberg

Jan 30 2012
I watched a woman sitting in seat “1D” diligently crocheting.  It’s not as if I hadn’t seen this scene before. Honestly I’ve probably seen the same scene a hundred times on my flights… maybe even the same woman.  I was sitting on the forward jumpseat while I waited to reach a workable altitude, and I watched the woman across from me crocheting a vibrant red, white and blue blanket.... read more

Flashback Fridays: A BIG Weekend in 1974

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Aug 26 2011
This photo couldn’t be taken today, or at least, a major company couldn’t use it in a promotion, advertisement, or advisory.  And, it’s not because of our early 70s uniforms.  No, the reason is because the big honchos of pro football would be on the phone to protect the name of the championship game.  However, back in January 1974, they weren’t as possessive, and I think the... read more
