“With all this in mind, it feels like @SouthwestAir’s free baggage policy was the last good thing it had going for it, and now a bunch of finance bros who hate good things have taken that too from us.” https://t.co/IJK5DvZidq

This is your reminder to *always* have your #resume updated and ready to go even if you’re 100% happy in your current job. Love, Aunt Benét ❤️ https://t.co/l7B4QYeXqH

.@crankyflier’s post shares how I feel about the major changes afoot at @SouthwestAir. It’s turning into just another legacy #airline . I get why this is happening, but I don’t have to like it. #airlines #paxex https://t.co/UEy1jBPk5P

It’s a miracle! As I enter my 25th year as a #quilter I finally made myself a #quilt !! I used scraps of #batik cotton using the stacked Chinese Coin pattern. The best part? When I look at the fabrics, I see all the quilts I made for friends and family. #blackgirlsquilt https://t.co/4if2U3zlJ0

Modern airline passenger seats are required by regulation to be rated to withstand 16 times the force of gravity. It has made air travel measurably safer and more survivable over the last two decades.

THIS is why I continue to get up at the crack of dawn for @southwestair flights. The plane is already here, so there’s a zero chance of missing a flight. #paxex #travel #letsgo https://t.co/ILP6tly1zz

“Black history is AMERICAN history.”
