Herb Kelleher should be number one, not five! I don't understand why he's not. Oh well, nobody asked me. :( SWA LUV! 🙂

Ofcourse it is Mr. Herb Kellher, right? Issue is, are people who are helping him keeping his mission and goal alive? That is low cost airline for passangers? And answer is no. Here is the story of "THE GOOD EARTH" repeating and these people for greed will run this airline to ground, by higher dividends and highest pay to its employees in the Industry with no Admiral club, world club or nay features, can you imagine ticket to California and New York (ALBANY) running at one hunderd higher with multiple stops then ORBITZ, TRAVELOCITY, CONTINENTAL, and AMERICAN all selling for low cost. Who is in-charge of comparisons and pricing. Hope Herb is going to read this and ask some questions, because those who are running now, need to learn the mission of company. I am selling my stock soon as soon as market upswing is back. Raj

I've studied SWA and Herb Kelleher since college - where SWA was often used as our example for organizational behavior and leadership materials. No surprise! What a great company! Now why haven't they hired me yet???? Nicole
