I LUV what Southwest has done for air travel, and I fly them every chance I get. I am greatful for the history that these two key figures have developed over their careers, and I sincerely hope to meet both of them one day and say “Thank You” for making it OK to enjoy what you do.
I wish them both the best.

As a customer of Southwest Airlines ,i would like to extend my thanks to Herb and Colleen for their awesome leadership they have given to such a great company!It shows how the top brass in a company can take great care of their employees and the public with “LUV” and grace and not let company corruption play a part in making a profit!Southwest and all their employees deserve a “Hats Off” for a job well done.All other companies should use Southwest as an example on how to run a company!Thanks!!
