The first time I saw this add I was really wowed. What a way to show what your brand is all about. I think the warrior spirit is there and everyone knows the history of the fun LUVing attitude but a commercial that shows Southwest's servants heart is really special. I love the commercials and I think its a great way to show how Southwest's people really are the difference. www.campbarnabas.org is where I choose to show my servants heart. - Arvin ... View more

Great vocalist - CHECK (at least on the podcast, not too sure about the singing part) Great performer - CHECK Always with an eye for opportunity, pouncing on a good interview.

I may be too conservative but with 103.8 million bags of peanuts and an average aircraft trip length of 626 miles with an average duration of 1 hour and 52 minutes (The shortest daily Southwest flight is between Ft. Myers (RSW) and Orlando (MCO) (133 miles). The longest daily Southwest flight is between Baltimore (BWI) and San Diego (SAN) (2,295 miles).) I would think you would get a few people to buy some of these. On the other hand, I would rather buy a sandwich at the Quiznos in the terminal and take it on with me. Since I know exactly what I'm getting and how much it will cost before I get on the plane. As Kumar said, "Will this require installing galleys on your planes? " In the current environment I can't see the extra expense, whatever that is, verses the economic gain. It seems a very tough decision when you have peanuts (fares for peanuts) that probably never go bad and then you introduce meals that you probably end up throwing away or don't have enough for the passenger demand at other times. You might endanger the customer service experience with either choice but people know what to expect from Southwest and should be able to plan ahead and "be prepared." Good luck with the decision and if the crews don't have time to get food when they're on the ground I'm all for having sandwiches on board but you might end up with overweight crews cleaning up the leftovers (added weight = added cost.) - Arvin ...

Good Stuff Steve! My company prohibits departures into any freezing precipitation but when you need to deice it's nice to have the right stuff and the right people to do it. With a safety record like Southwest's it's easy to see that it's done when needed and done correctly. Great cast! ... View more
