One day, Kelleher received a letter from one of Southwest’s ramp agents in Oklahoma. It read, “Herb, I’m on to what you’re doing…You’re making work fun – and home work.” Kelleher viewed the letter as validation of his efforts to bring a little personality to his company.

The King of the Skies: Herb Kelleher Gets His Start
Almost 40 years ago, Herb Kelleher came up with a radical idea: He wanted to start a no-frills airline that not only ensured people got to where they wanted to go and at low prices, but that they had fun doing it. Today, the small Texas airline he founded in 1971 has become the second largest airline in the world by number of passengers carried.

Looking for Mr. Goodtweet: How to Pick Up Followers on Twitter
At 10:15 pm I discovered that I had not brought a Macbook power supply on the trip. I was in a hotel on Coronado Island, and early the next morning I was flying to an aircraft carrier off San Diego for an overnight visit. I doubted that the carrier had Macbook power supplies laying around, so I was in trouble. I posted a message to Twitter that I was in this predicament, and within ten minutes, five people offered to bring me a power supply. I took one of them up on the offer, and he delivered it to me within an hour.

FEE Fi Fo
If you have flown recently you have been bombarded with the airline’s new pricing strategy, a mutating “ala carte” menu of unbundled services in an age of bundling. I prefer to call it “un-bungling”. The published fares on the web seem reasonable and enticing but that’s where the fun begins and ends. Once you click to buy, enter the “Fee Demons”. The official names are the Federal Segment Tax, Airport Facilities Charge, and September 11 Security Fee. Obviously this is a form of government taxation that if included in the fare would make it less attractive to the potential flyer. Your airline ticket now resembles your phone bill with it’s array of “after the facts tax”.

Crisis Communications Case Study
On February 14th, 2007– Valentines Day of all days- a snowstorm blanketed much of the Northeast.

Blame Management for Poor Service
Buried in the publicity of a nasty airline strike was a vivid example of how misdirected management's service improvement efforts can become. To improve service, the airline ordered all attendants to attend three hour "Commitment to Courtesy" classes without pay. "They told us the reason we were losing money was because we were rude to passengers," said one attendant.
