Join us in signing the ‘Pledge to Our Keiki’ which was written by students from across Hawaii. They’re asking us to engage, volunteer & donate to increase Hawaii’s resiliency as we build momentum towards Earth Day on April 22nd! 

At Southwest, we put our Hearts in action by mobilizing our Employees to do well by doing good and developing programs to meet the needs of our diverse communities. We are proud to support the work of Kanu Hawaii and non-profits across Hawaii as they create programs protecting the islands and empowering the keiki of Hawaii.
 
Together we’ll help Maui recover and rebuild while growing our island networks to rapidly respond to any future challenges.

"I've been here for almost 25 years, and not once have I flown with someone I've known for their entire life." 

That's what Captain Sean said as he introduced his First Officer to the cabin before their flight to Phoenix on Christmas Eve. After that flight, he could never say it again!

From the moment Marian started flying as a First Officer at Southwest, it was her dream to operate a flight with her father as the Captain. 

On Christmas Eve last year, her dream came true. Not only did she share the flight deck with her father, Captain Sean, but her mother and sister came along for the ride as well! As you can see from the photos, this 35,000 foot family reunion has been years in the making. ❤️ 

We're so lucky to have you both in the Southwest Family, Marian and Sean! #SouthwestHeart

Kelli, a Flight Attendant with 42 years under her wings, not only inspired her sister but also her niece to join the Southwest Family. Her sister Dawn has been with us for 32 years and Hannah, Dawn's daughter, just celebrated her 2nd year as a Southwest Flight Attendant. Recently, the trio worked their first flight together, and had a wonderful time! Oh, and did we mention they have another sister, Paige, who has been working at DAL for almost 10 years now?! Thank you, Kelli, Dawn, Hannah, and Paige for sharing your #SouthwestHeart with our Customers and your fellow Employees every day.

Being the airline where two "bags" fly free (weight and size limits apply), you'd be surprised what sort of items our Rampers see on a day to day basis!

Our People love to live out their Southwest Hearts every day.

When Southwest Employees at our MKE - Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport Station heard from airport employees that young Lucy had accidentally left Gracie, her beloved swan, behind at the airport, they did everything they could to locate Lucy's special friend. After some teamwork with employees at MKE, we made sure Lucy and Gracie were reunited the second Lucy and her family returned from their trip. #SouthwestHeart #HolidayWithHeart

Caleb thought he was going to California for his birthday, but his mom had a big surprise for him that the whole plane helped reveal... #SouthwestHeart
