@MarcDuvoisin can you call my cell? We are trying to fix an error in an obit to run in Sunday’s edition and we can’t get a call back or reply email. I’m an exec with Southwest Airlines.

Our Southwest 50th & Last Chili Cookoff on Saturday was a hit! We call it our “…& Last Chili Cookoff,” because when we started, we thought it might be our last. We enjoy getting together every year for a little friendly chili-making competition. No beans allowed!

@Avis wanted to let you know you have a hero at the Lubbock, Texas rental counter! Steve and team helped us with a one-way rental after a flight mechanical cancelled our trip. They even found us the best price, which was an extra step and Customer Service at its best!

Spent time with our media partners at the @skift event yesterday. Our People & Culture are a distinct competitive advantage. Herb & Colleen taught us that it's our unique People that lead to happy Customers! Between HalloWN & Media Day, I think everyone got a shot of SWA Culture!

[Linda Rutherford @LRutherford_66]

Halloween, or HalloWN as we like to spell it at @SouthwestAir, has been a big holiday for us through the years. I’ve enjoyed celebrating with my Cohearts, and I love seeing the different ways our Employees find to celebrate with each other across our network. Happy Halloween!

Great engagement at our Southwest Culture Connection event last week! @WhitneyE and I sat down for a fireside chat to talk about the Southwest Culture, how it started with Colleen Barrett, and how every Southwest Employee has ownership.
