Simple wave: Feel good video of the day

This is why US airports should have observation decks! Most of us have our love of aviation because we were taken to the airport by our parents! This kid throws a wave and ends up getting a tour! Well done Southwest!!
Totally agree! At my local airport the police kindly ask persons standing at the fence to leave. What a shame.
My airport has a small parking lot at the end of the runway. its unimproved except for a few trash cans, but there is no sign. If you didn't know about it, you probably wouldn't be able to find it. They are great to have, but they need to be known to the public.
What a great statement about Southwest. I have been professional pilot for 50 years or so, I remember how important I felt when at age 7 I was allowed into the cockpit of a United DC-4, in flight, no less. Better days, for sure. But that cockpit visit probably did more to inspire a 1/2 century career flying, pounding rivets, and engineering than anything else. Thanks, Captain!
Yep, I was in an American Airlines L-188 Electra around 1960. Man next to my mom and I was a former AF Colonel. He gave his card to the 'Stewardess' and we went to the cockpit. We were about 150 miles form DC and will never forget. Also given a polished 'gold plated' AA full size ruler.
Southwest crew and staff seem more content with their jobs than those of other carriers. It's my carrier of choice when I have a choice.
At NWA the company provided ‘baseball cards’, flight specific aircraft on front, stats on the back. I certainly enjoyed handing them out to kids…and adults if they asked!
