Honor Flight Cleveland
By: Ana Schwager - Nashville Marketing Manager
I had the pleasure of joining Team CLE recently as we boarded a
very special group of Customers. Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created to honor America's Veterans for all their sacrifices, and Southwest Airlines has the privilege of being the airline of choice for the Honor Flight Cleveland
Veterans. The third Wednesday of each month these Veterans board flight 2065 from Cleveland to Baltimore/Washington and spend the day in Washington, DC visiting their memorials. Then, as quickly as the one-hour flight took them to DC, the last flight from BWI to CLE brings them home.
This Wednesday was extra special as it marked the one-year anniversary of the flight. The festivities included a special pre-flight ceremony in which Honor Flight Cleveland and Southwest Airlines received proclamations from Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson's office and, as the
Veterans taxied to the runway, they were sent off with a special water arch shot from the Cleveland Fire Department's water cannons. I can't thank Team CLE enough for allowing me to be part and this special day and I'd like to thank everyone in CLE who provides that Positively Outrageous Service that is Southwest Airlines. Team CLE, I know the volunteers from Honor Flight can't thank you enough for helping make this day so special for our Veterans.

Southwest Leadership Pays Tribute to Colleen
By: Christi Day - Public Relations Coordinator
Some of the great Leaders at Southwest shared their thoughts about Colleen in this tribute video. It was created as part of an event held recently in Dallas to honor Colleen and Herb Kelleher and raise money for the Frontiers of Flight Museum. After having the honor of coordinating this video shoot, it became so evident that we probably could've put together a few hours of footage! There were so many great memories of Colleen! Thanks to all who participated and thanks Colleen for providing such great "content!" Enjoy!

Serenading Colleen
By: Bob Hurst - Senior Analyst Technology
You never know what's going to happen when our Culture Committee Members from all 64 cities get together for their Quarterly Meeting.
At our June meeting, Wayne Campbell, a Manager at our San Jose Provisioning Base, decided to serenade Colleen because it was her last such meeting as President of Southwest.
As always, he did a great job!

Dallas Love Field Time Lapse Video
By: Christi Day - Public Relations Coordinator
Our star video blogger, Bob Hurst, created this awesome time-lapsed video of our home base here at Dallas Love Field Airport - we're fast, but obviously not this fast!
As you can see from the video, everyday is an operational ballet of sorts at Southwest; with each task precisely choreographed to ensure that safety and speediness go hand in hand. Thanks Bob for creating such interesting footage!
Oh and by the way, Paula parks her car at approximately the 2:26 minute mark...Brian, where are you?
