When I look at what my daughter Hollands dad has to pay for a round trip ticket for her to come see him 5 plus times a year i do grimace a bit and often have said thank God he has to pay and not me but then I look at the care she is given on the flight and how she has become part of the SWA family. She flew out of Raleigh for 6 years and is now flying out of nashville or Louisville depending on my driving mood and she can walk through terminal and will have flight attendants call her name and give her a hug. They tell her they miss her on the flights, or they hope they will be seeing more of her now they are flying a different route. She has done the same with them. That is worth every penny. It means someone is not seeing being a flight attendant as a "job" as much as a place where they WANT to be. I know her dad would pay more to have our child treated with respect, know she is safe, know that Holland is happy and loves to fly. If you think its expensive to fly try Amtrak! people say go Greyhound but then shut up when they look at 28 hours on a bus as opposed to 4 hours on a plane. It is so worth it.
So if airline prices go up I will accept it. They have costs just like i do here at my motel. We have to raise my rates accordingly as well. And that just reminded me most people who moan about airline ticket prices for example 329.00 from Louisville to San Diego do not bat an eyelash about paying 180.00 a night for a motel. A room that their eyes are closed for the most part in anyway. Oh well another topic I guess....as a 24/7 onsite motel manager i think i should start a blog site of my own. LOL
Heather I too would like to see the ads. I collect old horse trailer ads.
Heather thanks again for being a light in our often dreary worlds.
