I’ve judged a few chili cook-offs in my day, but I was beyond honored to be asked to judge Southwest Airline’s 39th and Last Chili Cook-off (and no, it’s not really the last, but I’ll explain that later.)

Did you know Southwest Airlines has an industry leading program with our electric ground support equipment?  It’s pretty amazing to think that we have more than 1,150 pieces of cleaner-burning GSE in our fleet.  We do buy new electric equipment to enter new markets such as GSP, CHS, and EWR, but did you know we have a small but mighty shop in PHX that works to convert diesel burning GSE... read more
