I started in the airline industry in 1991 as a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines. I flew with Delta for 15 years and also worked as a training facilitator. In 2005, I joined the SWA Family and am currently the Assistant Manager of Inflight Safety. There is something about Inflight that definitely gets in your system, and I can't imagine working anywhere else! My wonderful teenage son also has the aviation bug and is already taking flying lessons. We both love to travel and hit the sky whenever we can.

extra moments with their loved... read more

I recently had the pleasure of watching our
newest Flight Attendants graduate and earn their wings. What a difference from
the first day they arrived at Initial Training! On day one, there were lots of
“deer-in-the-headlights” looks, anxious grins, and nervous chatter. At
graduation, I saw confident, thrilled Southwest Flight Attendants just itching
to serve our valued Customers.

Three Letters That Could Save a Life--AED

Statistics show that more than 200,000 Americans die of sudden cardiac arrest every year. Up to 50,000 of these deaths could have been prevented if someone had initiated the Cardiac Chain of Survival and if an automated external defibrillator (AED) had been available for immediate use.
