Wearing red on Fridays

Posted on April 25, 2007 | Comments Off on Wearing red on Fridays

My favorite airline, Southwest, in recognition of its many employees serving in the military, is promoting the Wear-Red-on-Fridays for the troops campaign:

"We at the LUV airline are a patriotic bunch. We LUV our country; we give America the Freedom to fly; and we support our troops who fight for our country’s many freedoms. One way we express our LUV is by encouraging our Employees to wear red shirts on Fridays to show our support for the troops."

Some of us thought of Southwest as the National Airline of Texas, before it expanded across the country. Others would have pegged Braniff, before it went bankrupt. Southwest is popular for its no-crash policy. They haven’t had one yet.

Watch list

Posted on October 10, 2006 | Comments Off on Watch list

My little trip to the sacred soil of Virgina, as Southerners used to say, but pretty much don’t any more, produced several oddities. The most surprising was discovering before takeoff from Austin that my name was on the watch list. The ticket agent checked my driver’s license and said it was someone else, so I’m off as far as Southwest is concerned. But it delayed getting a boarding pass and so I was one of the last on board for SW’s unassigned seating. It insured a middle seat, between a burly Maryland fireman coming back from a convention in Texas, and a young fellow who wore headphones the  whole way. I still don’t know what to think about the watch listing. A convert jihadi, perhaps?
