It's true, I love grammar. I'd diagram sentences for fun, if you let me. Nerdy, I know - but it fits right into my job description here at Southwest, where I'm a writer in the Central Publications Department. I help keep our flight operations manuals up-to-date so those planes can stay in the air. After interning at Southwest during college, I came on full-time last June. Every day is a new adventure, and I LUV the great people I get to work with. The perks of working for an airline aren't too shabby, either!

Newark is OPEN!
This is huge. From our newest airport, you can hop a train to Penn
Station, and faster than a "Friends" rerun, you’re in the heart of New York City: home of the Yankees and the Mets, Broadway, and 5th Avenue. Land
of 20,000 restaurants. The place never sleeps. What’s not to love?
