Great Idea, Southwest

[MissKittyKat]

Hello all members, won't you join me by sending a card to Southwest this week.

You don't have to put your name on it, just send something written to the company showing your support and understanding. Take 5 minutes of your day out tommorrow and send them a card. Even if they don;t read it, they need support from everyone as far away. Southwest is a great company, I never worked for them but they have taken me safely all over.

We as aviation professionals do not wish these events to happen but they do. Thanks Southwest for taking me safely everywhere. The events at Mdw hit me hard yesterday, i hate flying in and out of that airport. I was on Central Ave recently and can't even imagine the pain and suffering of everyone.

But you as a person, can send a card! To the corporate headquarters, no one likes to hear of such events anytime of the year, especially around Christmas! or even send a card to anyone you know who was on this plane in or in the cars. I balled and cried so much after hearing this, I just couldn't post or comment.

I am just asking that you send a card as soon as possible! I will! So please join me.

Thank you members.

Here's a better idea. How about sending flowers, a card or money to the Woods family from Leroy, Indiana, who lost their 6 year old son, Joshua, in the accident.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Sandman, that is a cordial idea too. thanks, I thought and your thoughts are great too, thanks for joining me.

Exactly , who cares about sending a card to Southwest?

 

[MissKittyKat]

Jehtplane, I asked in my plea to please send a card to anyone on the plane or even the car accidents, I only titled it southwest because they were the carrier, Please send your card to anyone, including Southwest, it only takes 5 minutes of your time tommorow. I feel this is a great way to deal with horrible things, and I am an aviation person, so please wherever you direct in your card, please do it! Please.

 

[SFR]

How about a letter that tells SWA that their days are numbered and they can take their arrogant attitude and tell me why I should work for them!

 

[denny]

Miss Kitty,

I don't think so. Your statement about hating flying in and out of MDW speaks volumes. Pursue that route. It will mean a whole lot more than the admission of your bawling over this incident.

Just a realist, not a sentimentalist.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Sfr, will you still please join me and many others and make that card or letter?

Please, you as a person can make a difference, willl you please join me?

 

[Dumbluck]

kill'em with kindness

I like it, you don't see much of that anymore,

I'll send something to the Woods family

 

[MissKittyKat]

Denny, I:m sincere, but I just am not in love with Midway, I ask you, will you please make an effort to send a card or wish to anyone who was involved in yesterday's misfortune, Denny please do this for me, And I thank you in advance!

YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

There are a lot of dangerous airports in the US. They should be closed, but then again, safety is not the primary concern.

Miss KK,

Is your total time posted factor in all the time that you have ever been in an airplane or just the hours that you have been paid for since you started the fa gig? Pilots log total time, flight attendants do not.

Ironic that the last notable accident at MDW happened 33 years to the day. 33 years and two air carrier accidents. Close the dang airport...While your out closing another Chicagoland airport, there is one down in Dallas that had two accidents with a-lot more fatalities in the span of 3 years. Why don't you close that one too. (By the way, it is DFW not Love!)

I think they'll be around much longer than you. I know several SWA pilots that would gladly tell you why you and your turbo prop time should NOT work for them.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Peter, my hours include since 1998, I do keep a log book, just something I do, I have traveled the world since a kid! Send me a pm if curious, but this thread is about making a differencence!

 

[say again]

I don't understand what difference it will make?!? A card??? How about we send airlines $$$, that is the only thing that will help!!!!

 

[MissKittyKat]

I have kept a logbook since 1998, so any times as passenger I did not log them, I do it out of pride and joy, where I went and who I was whis, it is nothing more than a diary to me and means a lot to me. Send your letters in please.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Say again, if you don't wan't to participate then that is ok, I have a few members who will;

 

[maru657]

It's part of the problem with de-regulation. Too much growth in too little time by a company with too much political support. SW has also run off the runways in Phoenix and Kansas City but fortunetly with no fatalities. I don't think they will escape media attention so easily in the future.

I had to ask myself if MKK was for real at first. Then I thought of a great quote from Waterboy. "Which brings me to my next point, DON'T DO DRUGS." The company doesn't give a flying flip about any cards that anyone on this website may send it. I have a feeling that nobody on the plane does either. They are just glad to be alive. I am all for heart felt sympathy and compassion, but let's come down from la la land and be realistic.

Trust me, I wont!!! I only send out cards to my family, and they could also give two $hits about them.:beer:

Well said, exactly how I feel!!!

Mkk

Your heart is in the right place and I too believe that words of sympathy are important for all involved in this tragedy. You are also very patient with a bunch of arrogant pilots who want to pick you apart and belittle your initiative. For what it's worth, I'll send out cards to all I can get in touch with, to include SWA. God Bless!

 

[Captain Overs]

I hope when Miss Kitty sobers up she will realize how insensitive it is to send sympathy to SWA when a family lost a child. It's a tragedy for everyone involved but I can only hope her myopia from her first post was due to major alcohol consumption.

 

[El-Rushbo]

Send a card to SWA?!?!? You, Miss, are missing a main strut. How about a card to the family who lost a child. They are the only folks who have truly suffered a loss.

And nice back-peddling, BTW. Yes, you DID ask for a card to be sent to Southwest and no, you didn't mention the passengers or the family. Sober up, please. Or are you trying to land an interview?

 

[MissKittyKat]

El-Rushbo, Greetings and Merry Christmas, I did actually include anyone who was on the plane AND anywho was in the car accidents. In the first post, just re-read it and you will see. I did recieve a couple of pm's from a couple of nice screennames who decided on sending cards as well, Yes, including those who where on the plane if you knew them and the families who were in the cars, Please go back and read the very first post.

No, actually, she is sober.

read all her posts - She is 100% f#%kin' certifiable.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Bump, no hard feeling with anyone, this tread is about sending your cards or anything, many have taken a pok shot at my screen name but it is ok, I am the mother Of one son, and a flyer, and have been in aviation quite awhile I love it, that is why I say send a card in, Please, please do it, tell your wife or girlfriend to send a card, she will do it!

Atleast he flies his prop on the correct glide path TopGun. I would take him over your flying a dot low in IMC any day of the week. Although I am not sure what is worse, doing it, or not seeing the validity of your stupidity.
Maybe it's just a civilian thing.

Why now? Did you send a card to other airlines who have a suffered an accident? Are you planning on sending a card to the next airline that has an accident? Just curious as to why now, and why SWA?
