There is still good left in humanity.
Captain Jon Jackson was supposed to take his final retirement flight with Spirit Airlines today. But after Spirit's shutdown, he instead found himself as a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight into Baltimore.
What happened next was truly special. Capt. Jackson was honored with a traditional water cannon salute and a surprise welcome celebration at the gate.
This is a powerful reminder that the aviation community is built on respect, compassion, and solidarity—especially when it matters most. Above all, this moment was about honoring a fellow aviator.
Congratulations, Capt. Jackson, and thank you for your years of service in the skies.
Well done Southwest Airlines 💙
😭 I didn’t just cry, I saw my childhood. The best memories we had creating things together and now everything is disconnected yet we are all more connected than ever before. Take a moment and reflect and kids this is what us that grew up in the 90’s feel. 🥺💔
God help us.

The devoted husband waited at an airport with a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates to surprise her.
When he sees her, his face suddenly lights up with joy.
