There’s a lot of sadness in the world. A lot of spite. And then, there’s Southwest Airlines.
I don’t mean to call out Southwest Airlines as the shangri-la of the skies. But survey after survey shows passengers rating Southwest higher than its competitors. And time after time it seems to come down to feelings.
Southwest and its employees just seem to be better at making passengers feel good about them.
Case in point: the Southwest Airlines pilot quickly who got permission to fly a series of 180 degree turns during the Great American Eclipse in 2017, so that a passenger could get a better photo.
