The Feast: Where Hat-Makers Unite

By: Mallory O'Teter moteter

Nov 21 2012
Tevye sang about it best. Tradition, tradition. Tradition! It’s what makes the holidays special and helps you look back at past memories with nostalgia. Like many Departments within Southwest Airlines, Culture and Communication has an annual Thanksgiving Feast filled with delicious potluck dishes and something that we believe adds a FUN touch—a Thanksgiving hat decorating contest. It’s an... read more

By: Kathryn Dawson kdawson

Nov 21 2012
This month, we have shared stories of service and honor as we recognize the men and women who have so courageously served our country. As a military mother, my heart swells with pride each time I think of my son’s dedication to our country, but this pride has not come without much sacrifice.Being apart from family during the holidays is one of the many sacrifices our military men and women must... read more

A Social Media Team Potlucksgiving

Nov 21 2012
Awkward conversation at Thanksgiving dinner is practically a national past-time.  Each of us has a loudmouthed, inappropriate, or otherwise controversial family member who makes Thanksgiving entertaining for half of us, and miserable for those who share a direct bloodline.  I'm probably that controversial family member (but I say this mostly to absolve myself of any potential scorn from... read more

Is there a more iconic symbol of Thanksgiving than the turkey?  No, we’re not talking about a big Tom as the centerpiece of the table surrounded by dressing, mashed potatoes, and cranberries.  I’m talking about the magnificent wild turkey, which was the mainstay of the diets of Native Americans along the East Coast.  Ben Franklin thought the bird was more deserving of being the... read more

Flashback Fridays: A Thanksgiving Avgeek Photo Feast

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Nov 23 2012
This week, I raided my postcard collection to find some photos built around the general theme of the way airlines display their names on the outside of their aircraft.  The other reason was that I just wanted a chance to share these interesting older images with you as an after-Thanksgiving treat. We set the stage with this early Southwest image from the archives, and as regular readers... read more

Southwest Honors Larry Hagman

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Nov 26 2012
In a very real sense, Larry Hagman represents our hometown, Dallas.  As J.R. Ewing he made Dallas an international destination, even if his character was a shady, conniving scoundrel.  And as himself, he became a part of the city’s heart through his generosity.  As these photos from our archives show, Mr. Hagman had an early relationship with Southwest.  We see him passing... read more
