40 Years in 40 Days: Class of 1993

By: Caroline Llewellyn cllewellyn

May 27 2011
 Let me start off by saying “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.”  In August 1991 my husband David was accepted to the Dallas Police Academy.  So, we got married, packed up our belongings, and moved to Dallas from Aurora, Colorado.  We had never been this far away from home, so being in a Metroplex that had just as many people in it as the whole state we... read more

Flashback Fridays: More of Southwest before June 18, 1971

By: Brian Lusk blusk

May 27 2011
Anyone who has studied the history of Southwest knows the many legal obstacles we had to overcome just to start service.  But there were other hurdles to overcome before Southwest could fly, and many of those “loose ends” were being tied up 40 years ago in the days before June 18, 1971.  Last week’s Flashback Fridays looked at how to publicize a brand new airline, which was a very rare... read more

40 Years in 40 Days: Class of 1992

What a wild ride it has been….I’ve had more FUN than a person should be able to have and still call it a job! My Southwest career began in September of 1991 as a temporary Employee in the Pass Bureau.  A friend and longterm Employee provided the recommendation and “sold” me on what a great Company Southwest was. I’ll never know how she convinced our People Department that this New York gal... read more

40 Years in 40 Days: Class of 1994

My journey at Southwest began on October 10, 1994 as a Flight Operations Crew Scheduler.  At that time, we had 196 aircraft in service. I had a few days off before I began my new career at SWA so I thought it would be a good time to get my wisdom teeth taken out.  Looking back, I don’t know what I was thinking!  They were taken out the Thursday before I started SWA the following... read more

Caring for the Lost Heroes Art Quilt

By: Julie Feingold, Guest Blogger jfeingold

May 26 2011
This Memorial Day marks the four-year anniversary of the Lost Heroes Art Quilt, my personal tribute to the men and women who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Having experienced loss in my own life, I wanted to acknowledge the overwhelming sense of loss and grief and, at the same time, find a way to honor and celebrate the lives of those who have so selflessly sacrificed to protect our... read more

40 Years in 40 Days: Class of 1996

So many memories to choose from!  I was hired back in 1996 as a Rapid Rewards Writer.  As you can imagine, it takes time to get to know everyone, especially considering there were more than 100 Employees in the department at that time.  After being at Southwest for just a few months, sadly, my Mother had a heart attack and ultimately had bypass surgery.  She was only 49 at the... read more

It always seems weird to talk about our schedule for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and the end of the year when the calendar hasn’t even hit Memorial Day.  But that’s life for an airline scheduler—well, for everyone, really.  After all—you have to plan ahead to “make the Season bright!” WE’RE OPEN!  Bookings are now being accepted through January 6, 2012.  I know how... read more

Showcasing Southwest Magic in the Magic Kingdom

By: swabikedude swabikedude

May 23 2011
Anyone who has met me will probably tell you I am a huge Disney Fan!  I have been to Walt Disney World® at least a hundred times.  My son, who is 5 years old, has been at least 10 times. So, when I was asked to represent Southwest Airlines and speak about our great Company at the Disney Resort Showcase, I answered with a resounding, “It’s on!” My goal for the event was to let the world... read more

40 Years in 40 Days: Class of 1999

In fall 1997, after finishing my tour in the Marine Corps, I moved back home to Virginia to look for a new career.  I wasn’t finding any work and I was missing my girlfriend back in California.  I decided to borrow money from my parents to fly back to Los Angeles to visit my girlfriend and to look for employment there.  I bought a one-way ticket on Southwest Airlines (because... read more
