Did you know....

Southwest has a Space Shuttle Commander flying their planes? "Hoot" Gibson who did 4 flights as Commander and one as Pilot.

He retired from NASA and needed a job! His wife is Rhea Seddon, another very experienced astronaut, who did 3 shuttle flights.

I flew with him when he was a co-pilot, it was on his first week with southwest and they made a big deal about it. They were giving him a hard time about his age and he signed autographs at the gate.

When I have to fly, I take SW. The pilots are really good about avoiding bad weather and having smooth flights. The rush on landings as they step on those brakes though...oh boy!:').
