    Some of you may know I fix for Boeing 737's for the only profitable Airline on the planet, while we are not always on time, every SWA employee knows that low fares combined with on time departures equal profits, which the company shares with each and every employee, today we took a slight delay for the most important of passengers we carry, a fallin American Servicemen, his escorts were two US Navy Petty Officiers, and just like in the movie Taking Chance everything stopped, and all the rampers fuelers mechanics were there to render respect to someone who gave all so we can live in a Free Country.

    I fly SWA every chance I get and this certainly gives me just one more reason to do so!!

    I think that is awesome! Living in The People's Republic of Kalifornia, most of the people who live near me "do not understand" (yeah, right) what we are doing in the Middle East, what we have accomplished there, or why we need to be there. It makes me very happy to see that there are some people in this country who understand what it takes to keep our freedom.
