Southwest Airlines

I heard on the news that SW flight attendants are complaining that they are the lowest paid FA in the US industry. I guess it goes along with their peanut philosophy, peanuts for the PAXs and peanuts for the workers.

I even bought Herb Kelleher's book "NUTS!" several years back. I always suspected that the company maintained its profitability on the backs of their employees. I always suspect a company is dysfunctional when management says everybody loves to work here and rah! rah! rah!!!

Antics are actually encouraged but even SW has its limits as in the case of two pilots with their cloths off in the cockpit. Another recent case was when a gust of wind blew the 737 off the runway upon landing, to me this sounds inexcusable.

Maybe it’s time for SW to get back to the basics and quit the nonsense.
