Flight Attendant Friday

I thought this week I would share a few Fun Facts about Southwest Airlines:

Southwest received 199,200 resumes and hired 3,350 new Employees in 2008.
In 2008 Southwest served 55.2 million cans of soda, juices, and water; 12.4 million alcoholic beverages; 9.8 million bags of pretzels; 90.8 million bags of peanuts; 9 million snack boxes; and 32 million other snacks.
Southwest consumed approximately 1.5 billion gallons of jet fuel in 2008.
In 2008, Southwest moved 225 million pounds of cargo.
The shortest daily Southwest flight is between Ft. Myers (RSW) and Orlando (MCO) (133 miles). The longest daily Southwest flight is between Baltimore (BWI) and San Diego (SAN) (2,295 miles).
Southwest has 1,328 married couples. In other words, 2,656 Southwest Employees have spouses who also work for the Company.

And what fun would fun facts be without showing you a picture of one of the most fun places in America. Disney World.


I took this picture shortly after take off a few weeks ago. If you double-click on the picture and are familiar with Disney World you will be able to spot Space Mountain, the Contemporary Hotel and if you know where to look you can see Cinderella's castle. Disney World looks sooooo small from the air. It's hard to believe there were probably thousands of visitors in attendance that day.


I'm thinking it's time for me to answer some of those burning questions you might have about my job. So starting this week I'm going to take any of your burning questions and in a couple of weeks I will post a blog and have a question and answer session. So come on girls I know you have questions that you are dying to ask me......so go ahead, ask away. Feel free to ask as many as you want!
