I have to say that I really like the show. The whole thing was worth it just to watch that lady drag her two kids around Midway. She was so funny. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see her on t-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads. I was a little suprised that no one thought about alternate routings to San Diego earlier on though. She had the timetable in her hand the whole time. You would have thought she would have tried to build a connection herself. I did feel sorry for her sons though. They tried to keep their distance from mom.
What really blew me away was the way the MDW crew handled the blackout. SWA earned some points for this. They came off looking good, and they should have. I think the whole show just shows how SWA people are real people and they don't act like snobs like we see at a lot of the other airlines. I don't think they are "acting" for the cameras. The employees I have dealt with have always been positive and really nice. And I didn't have a camera in their face. Some people are always going to find fault in Southwest no matter what they do. And for people who keep saying that business people don't fly SWA, you need to pay more attention to the cabin shots. There are plenty of people in those seats who aren't in shorts, overalls or turnip sacks.
