Lighting Up The Street with our Southwest Spirit

By: swabikedude swabikedude

Nov 15 2012
A tradition started when I was very young. My aunt took me and my cousins to downtown Chicago for a weekend during the holiday season. I grew up in Northwest Indiana and to go "into the city" was a treat. It was exciting. In fact, to do so during the holiday's was even more a thrill because there was always so much going on.  For the next few years, this tradition blossomed and I began... read more

Military Heroes Month: A Reverence that Will Not Be Forgotten

By: Whitney Bartels wbartels

Nov 15 2012
“We want America to remember us forever,” said Bill Toledo, an original Navajo Code Talker. Mr. Toledo expressed concern that our country might one day forget the sacrifices of those who fought in World War II. After meeting eight of the original Navajo Code Talkers last week, I am certain their stories of service and honor will be remembered forever.  The Navajo Code Talkers were an elite... read more

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Nov 09 2012
Don’t touch that dial!  This week’s Flashback Fridays is both a look at our relationship with some Dallas radio stations, and it’s a review of some of the methods we have used to build the Southwest Airlines brand.  There are some cool photos too.   We begin with the above, and no, these aren’t 70s revolutionaries trying to take the airplane to Havana.  The two “... read more

Wings of Hope

Nov 09 2012
Emerging from her chrysalis on October 20th, a monarch inspired me to come to her aid. I have been raising and releasing monarchs for forty years and knew this one wouldn’t be able to fly with temperatures below 55 degrees, nor would there be any flowers with enough nectar to fuel her on her migration. Southwest Airlines responded positively to my unusual request by offering to fly both my... read more

¡Bienvenidos a Puerto Rico via Southwest Airlines!

By: Capt. Pedro Reguero preguero

Nov 01 2012
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico.  My Mom always insisted on doing “special things” to expand our education and culture.  She would take us to museums, music festivals, and to watch the US Navy Blue Angels air show - I was hooked with aviation!  I decided to join the Air Force and after pilot training started flying for the military.  I spent over ten years on active duty... read more

Flashback Fridays: Sequels to Iconic Images

By: Brian Lusk blusk

Nov 02 2012
In the early days, Southwest Airlines created more iconic images than an upstart carrier with just three airplanes should have generated.  I don’t think anyone ever said:  “Today, we’re going to make an icon.”  It just happened naturally.  Some of those images include the early television advertisement where a model dressed in our first Flight Attendant uniform strolls down a... read more
