“If I can pretend to have your attention for just a few moments, my ex-husband, my new boyfriend, and their divorce attorney are going to show you the safety features…”

I like Southwest.
Me, too. They’re my favorite.
I was flying S.W. and a young lady choked on something. Her seat mate dislodged her airway and the young lady was understandably upset and crying. The flight attendants lead her to the back of the plane and plied her with shots of tequila. I informed the crew that i was choking as well and got my free shot. Yes. S.W. has the very best customer focused flight crews in the business!
I think it’s hilarious how they make the safety instructions so funny.
“If you’re sitting next to a child, or someone who just acts like a child...” was always one of my faves.
Remember that time a SWA attendant said prior to takeoff: “Eenie Meenie Miney Mo. Take a seat, cause we gotta go.”?
She got in trouble. Fired I think.
That would be a major Oops.
I don’t think she was fired. SWA made some “oh, we apologize IF YOUR WERE OFFENDED” kind of remark. Not a real apology.
Kelleher is a genius. One of the few true business execs worth aspiring to. He was both fair and tough. Great sense of humor, and understood the intricacies of the financial end of the business.
...completing your thought...
“....in the short attention span you males have!”
I wonder who will be the first passenger to sue because they couldn’t get the quarters into the oxygen mask on time to prevent asphyxiation. :-)
Rofl!!!
Back in the days when flying wasn’t so much of a hassle (pre-9/11), I flew Southwest a lot. Somewhere I have a file of there best announcements. One I particularly recall when talking about the oxygen masks was:
“After you have put on your mask, please assist and children or anyone acting like children with their mask”
Why would anybody be offended. Nobody wants to be on a plane sitting on the tarmac. Hot, smelly, crowded, getting whipped with bag straps as people cram luggage into too small compartments and cough and sneeze on each other. Light it up lets GO!
I think tigers were offended.
Or some lower class of animal.
Not sure which.
(lol)
Now an airplane would be a perfect place for e-cigs.
We need legislation.
;-)
As usual, the “offended” party was a member of the permanent whine class.
In this case it was a black woman I believe. Obviously old enough to know the racist version of Eenie Meenie.
Delta’s in flight video is MUCH better.

Flying is NOT fun.
I get on the jet, stow my one roll-on and briefcase, sit down, shut-up, I don’t talk to anyone and I don’t want them to talk to me. And hey, Stewardess, flying is a major pain so don’t try a song-and-dance like we are having a party. . .we are not.
Too many flights for too many years, too many chatty passengers that are all a-gush over flying to visit Aunt Sally. . .and too many stewardesses treating everyone who travels, even us business types in First Class domestic and Business international, as the cause of their tired feet and that fact they are old and were never able to fully secure that pilot up front.
Harrumpfh.
Oh. I didn’t know their was a racist version. Too many ways to get in trouble these days. Best to say nothing to anyone you have not known for 20 years.

I admire your quick and lucrative thinking.

Was flying on SW and ended up in aisle one. The gentlemen across the aisle was complaining that his company jet wasn’t available and was suppose to be in first class. So he got free drinks, pillow, hand wipes and extra peanuts. Because I chuckled at the service he was getting they decided I was in first class too. Lots of laughs the entire trip !
