Spirit Magazine - February 2014 - (Page 22)

Your Words Dear Spirit, My heart warmed when I read "Home for the Holidays" [Community Outreach] in the December issue. As an independent educational consultant who specializes in college placement, I appreciate Southwest offering free flights to students in need. Personally, Southwest has become my go-to airline thanks to the "Wanna Get Away" fares, which I recommend to client families when they need to visit colleges. The affordable fares and lack of change fees make it possible for students to consider schools that are not in their immediate area but might prove to be a better fit. Thank you, Southwest, for making a difference in the lives of others. -cl aire l aw charleston, south carolina You summed up what Southwest is all about, Claire. Thanks!

As the message of keeping one's word could certainly apply to the business world, I have suggested to the president of my company that we start a "Because I Said I Would" campaign for 2014. Thank you for the inspiration, and keep up the good work! -t r i s h a G r i m cockeysville, maryland What a cool idea. What if we made promises instead of strategic plans? We'd love to know what other readers think about this. SpreADing The luV I LUVed the article on Alex Sheen in the November issue of Spirit. Inspired by Alex, I resolved to tell the flight attendants on my plane how much I appreciated them. After I did so, their eyes lit up and huge smiles appeared on their faces. One of them told me, "We LUV our Southwest family and our customers that fly with us." It is my wish that Alex's ministry and Southwest Airlines will thrive in the year ahead. Thank you for such a refreshing piece of journalism. - G l e n n m at t l a G e roswell , new mexico Talk about an immediate reaction to something you read! http://www.southwest.com http://www.facebook.com/spiritmag http://www.twitter.com/spiritmagazine http://www.instagram.com/spiritmagazine
