Herb Kelleher, co-founder of SWA, was once on a flight I took to El Paso. Midway through the flight, he got up and introduced himself, told the passengers that the peanuts were on him and then belted out a pretty descent version of "Heartbreak Hotel".
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.
My wife & I were on a Continental flight in 1991 where the male flight attendant was dropping one liners & ad libs rapid fire. One elderly lady asked him if he missed his wife on long flights.
He replied, “I’m not married”. “Then why the wedding band?”
“Oh, that’s my `fag deflector’. You see, there are a lot of fags in the airline industry & I have to pretend to be married. My girlfriend keeps nagging me about when am I going to start wearing it for real!”
