Southwest Airlines is staying at Dallas Love Field through at least 2040. On Wednesday, the City Council cleared the way for a 12-year extension for the Dallas-based carrier, which ensures it will continue to dominate the airport. Southwest will continue to use 18 of the airport's 20 gates, with the last two operated by Atlanta-based Delta. In other news, in a challenge to the planned expansion of the McKinney National Airport, a North Texas conservation group is asking a federal court to review the state's recent finding that further airport development won't significantly harm the environment; Dallas updated its bicycle plan this week for the first time in more than a decade, in a move celebrated by cycling advocates. The plan, unanimously adopted by the Dallas City Council Wednesday, is the first update since 2011. It offers a renewed look at where bike facilities could be installed in the city, updates design standards for facilities and recommends a set of priority projects; and Dallas Mavericks CEO Rick Welts is holding firm to the franchise's vision of a new arena and entertainment district within Dallas. And it definitely won't include the Dallas Stars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From the racquetball courts of junior college to the C-suite at Southwest Airlines—and now as CEO of Lionheart Children's Academy - Jeff Lamb's journey is a masterclass in unexpected opportunity, bold conviction, and servant leadership. In this episode, Jeff recounts pivotal moments that shaped his career—from working in the mailroom at Mesa Petroleum under T. Boone Pickens, to being mentored by Roger Staubach, and eventually leading people operations at one of America's most beloved airlines. Jeff unpacks how the intentionality behind career choices, culture building, and investing in people created lasting impact across companies. He also shares how his current role at Lionheart Academy brings together business excellence and faith-based mission—creating a scalable model for transformational early childhood education in partnership with churches. Whether you're leading a team, thinking through your next big move, or looking to build a values-driven organization, Jeff's story will inspire you to think differently about leadership, influence, and legacy. “Boone Pickens told me, ‘You can coach in the corporate world.' That changed my life.” - Jeff Lamb “If everyone's telling you the same thing, you don't need seven of them. The ability to respectfully disagree is a mark of real leadership.” - Jeff Lamb “At Southwest, when it came down to choosing between the customer and the employee—we chose the employee. And the financial results followed.” - Jeff Lamb This Week on The Wow Factor: How a failed attempt at junior college football redirected Jeff's path toward business Lessons learned working under T. Boone Pickens at Mesa Petroleum What it was like being mentored by Roger Staubach—and playing flag football with him Jeff's rise to Chief People Officer at Southwest Airlines and his time with Herb Kelleher and Colleen Barrett The power of presence, handwritten notes, and servant leadership in building culture Why Lionheart Academy is merging business and ministry to reshape early childhood education The challenge of regulated expansion across states—and why focus beats speed in scaling impact Jeff Lamb's Word of Wisdom:Pick a word. Pick a focus. Communicate clarity around it. For Jeff, that word this year is Unity—rooted in Philippians 2:1–2. In leadership and in life, clarity breeds direction. When everything's important, nothing is. Choose wisely.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that if you are flying Southwest, there's a new rule on chargers you should know about.
(We have a comedian!) What's Wrong with selecting a Pope? And the “Southwest Airlines” corporate scam model. Why are young people drinking less and older women drinking more? Orny has a mole and hopes a naked intruder kills it. What?!?! And if the 100 Foot Wave exists is it worth surfers chasing it?
Ellen Church became the first ever airline stewardess on May 15th, 1930 - when she took to the skies with a Boeing Air Transport flight from Oakland, California to Chicago. A licensed airplane pilot, she'd approached the airline to inquire about flying planes, but, when she was told that in fact they didn't employ women at all, she suggested that they put registered nurses like herself aboard to care for the passengers - and was hired to recruit and train seven additional women for the role. Candidates needed to be no taller than 5 feet, 4 inches; not more than 25 years old… and single. Their salary was $125.00 per month. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the seemingly never-ending list of safety responsibilities given to this first generation of ‘Sky Girls'; unpick the sexist recruitment policies underpinning their employment; and discover some of the most sexualised ad-campaigns of all time… Further Reading: • ‘Flight Attendants of History: How the First Stewardess Got Her Job' (Time, 2015): https://time.com/3847732/first-stewardess-ellen-church/ • ‘Shaking up a cocktail, tucking passengers into bed and calming nervous flyers: Fascinating vintage photos reveal life in the sky for the first air hostesses of the 1930's' (Mail Online, 2015): https://rb.gy/h01wa • ‘Southwest Airlines' - commercial circa 1972: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7JApjgIGw Love the show?

Summary In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius discuss the recent trend of companies filing for bankruptcy, particularly those known for poor customer service. They explore the concept of the experience gap, where customers feel they are paying more for less, leading to a revolt against companies that fail to meet expectations. The conversation shifts to the importance of maintaining a strong customer experience, even for historically successful brands like Starbucks and Southwest Airlines, which have recently struggled. They emphasize the need for businesses to understand their customers' perspectives and the value of mystery shopping to gain insights. The episode concludes with a discussion on the pursuit of greatness in business and the commitment required to achieve it. Takeways Bankruptcy often affects companies with poor customer service. The experience gap leads to customer dissatisfaction. Customers are revolting against companies that fail to deliver value. Amazon excels in convenience and customer experience. Great customer experience is not guaranteed; companies must stay vigilant. Mystery shopping can provide valuable insights into customer experience. Understanding the customer's viewpoint is crucial for businesses. Pursuing greatness requires commitment and effort. Most people are not willing to do what it takes to be great. Greatness is a choice, not a given.

Now, enjoy this week's episode of Why That Worked! -- Southwest Airlines built one of the strongest brands in the world by doing one thing better than almost anyone: clear, clever messaging that made customers feel like family. “Bags fly free” was more than a tagline. It was a promise that set them apart from every other airline. But when they recently backtracked on that core message, the backlash was instant. In a world where loyalty is fragile and expectations are sky-high, even the best brands can stumble if they don't communicate the right way. So what happens when a company known for brilliant messaging gets it wrong? In this week's episode, Don and Kyle unpack the marketing brilliance that made Southwest an iconic brand and why their latest messaging misstep is such a big deal. They reveal how Southwest's playful, people-first branding created an unbeatable bond with customers, and how this new shift risks breaking that trust. You'll learn what Southwest could have done differently, why your messaging must evolve without abandoning what made you great, and how to communicate tough changes without losing customer loyalty.

If you are in any way interested in precious metals, you need to see what today's video sponsor, Monetary Metals, is doing with them at the link below: http://www.monetary-metals.com/Snider/While other airlines were pulling their forecasts afraid to tell the truth and preferring to hide under behind "uncertainty", Southwest's CEO bluntly stated there's a recession. And that's exactly what is starting to emerge from the Federal Reserve's very own contacts, thus why former FOMC hawks are now sounding incredibly dovish, the fundamentals of interest rates in all directions.
