This is why I like South West Airlines.
Stories like this pop up on a fairly regular basis for SW far more than for other airlines. SW culture seems to encourage its staff to be real. To try and have fun where appropriate, show compassion when possible... etc.

When did you last see an oil worker shot in the line of duty?

Oh, I didn't know they only do that for those shot while on the job. I am sure there were plenty of truck drivers who died on the job and the same courtesy was not given to their spouse. Or maybe they do that for truckers shot on the job, IDK but doubt it.

They’re probably all dicks.

The culture at SW promotes this culture. I am willing to bet if it was brought to their attention they certainly would.

Hopefully they'll soon start to promote the culture of maintaining their fleet. Of course that requires bean counters and marketing grads to get out of the way and let engineers do their job, so that might be a tad difficult.

And if the woman wigged out over the 'intrusion' into her privacy?

I've had a few dogs that died in the line of duty, will SW airlines sing them a song??

When you go on a riff you just make up scenarios and get all pissed off about them.

Not sure how much better you want them to do. Quote:
Do you have a problem with people doing nice things for others or are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? What is your issue with this act of kindness?

Maintenance is one of those easy targets for the bean counters. It happens in the invisible background and if the planes don't fall out of the sky nobody thinks there's a problem. Until it happens by which time it's too late. All the marketing bumpf and pr crap in the world can't make a silk purse of a sows ear. Hopefully someone in their management understands that running an airline is about more than PR culture. - Peter.
