Your DH was lucky to have known him!

I have several friends who have worked for Southwest Airlines

for many years until they moved or had a major career change.

Lots of loyal employees. Good company.

Re: RIP: Herb Kelleher Southwest Airlines

We were very sad when my husband called today to share the news of Herb Kelleher’s passing. Such a smart, insiteful man, yet so approachable, when he was on duty for day-to-day operations. My husband is 24 years in, and counting, as  a SWA pilot and still, truly, loves his job. And God willing, our son will soon follow. We have been given wonderful opportunities thanks to Herb and his vision. God bless and Godspeed❣️🙏🏻✈️

I always had great admiration for Mr. Kelleher.  He was innovative and nimble-minded.  I recall hearing him testify on Capitol Hill a few years ago, and for a man his age, he was sharp. 

 

That man knew his stuff.

@Ifeelwicked-

Wow, that is so neat that your husband is a SW pilot!

I only fly SW unless I have to fly something else!

I've always told people that I think SW pilots are the best-they always land and take off the best of all the times I fly-with a really soft, smooth landing. I feel I can trust them.

Please thank your husband for me!Heart

All airlines should have the same policies that SW does.
