Podcasts about Southwest Airlines

It's Tuesday, June 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Indonesian boy killed for his Christian faith An 8-year-old Indonesian boy in the Seberida district was killed for his faith in Jesus on May 19th, reports International Christian Concern.   Indonesia is an 87% Muslim country. The boy, publicly named as K.B., was beaten to death by five older Muslim boys.  Pastor Piet, of the GPDI Solagracia church where the family worshipped, remembers him as a child who was “diligent in Sunday school, often participating in Bible quizzes, and often winning.” His father said, “He was my first child. My second child is a girl. He was a good and strong child. He dreamed of becoming a soldier. I used to want to become a soldier, but I didn't. That's why I wanted him to become a soldier.” Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Polish voters elect conservative president After a national election over the weekend, Poland will join a growing group of Western nations moving to the right of center -- more nationalistic, more supportive of traditional values, and more opposed to the internationalism of the day. A former boxer and historian, Mr. Karol Nawrocki, won the presidential election by a close vote of 50.9% to 49.1%. Nawrocki had been endorsed by President Donald Trump. Nawrocki quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14, stating that God would “heal the land” if they would “turn away from wicked ways, reports the Associated Press.”  The conservative edge in Poland has stood firm against pro-abortion policies and pro-European Union trends over the last five years. That will appear to continue with the Nawrocki administration. Poland will join the United States, Argentina, Hungary, and Italy, as nations that have moved in a conservative direction over the last few election cycles. GOP Senate fiscal hawks balking at price tag of Trump's Bill President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Federal Spending Bill is heading to the U.S. Senate. But several Republican senators are balking at the price tag, including Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri, reports Liberty Counsel Action. GOP Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is proposing that at least $838 billion be cut from federal spending to reduce government expenditures from 23.3% to 20.6% of the gross national income. This would reduce government to the relative size of the economy in 2019 before the COVID crisis.  In other words, Senator Johnson is simply requesting that government be reduced to pre-pandemic levels.   Presently, the Congressional Budget Office is estimating that President Trump's Big Beautifull Bill will add another $22 trillion to the $37 trillion of federal debt — putting the U.S. debt at 134% of the Gross Domestic Product by 2035. Japan and United States have weak bond auctions The leading Keynesian governments in the world are having a hard time getting people to fund their debt. Japan's bond auction yielded the weakest demand since the 2010 recession. The U.S. bond auction last week was extremely weak, resulting in 30-year bond interest to bump up to 5.15% — the highest rate since 2007. Ukrainian drone attack took out one-third Russian's long-range bombers Ukraine dispatched a drone attack deep into Russia, hitting some key military sites over the weekend. The bombings have reportedly taken out more than one-third of Russia's long range bombers, crippling Russia's nuclear capabilities. Homosexual pride marches have lost up to 50% of sponsorship The licentious elements of society are celebrating their pride month in June.  Slate.com reports a reduction in corporate sponsorships of the homosexual/transgender pride marches in the U.S.  Some have lost 40-50% of the corporate monies they have received in previous years. Plus, companies like Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, and Smirnoff have dropped Pride sponsorships altogether. The firm Booz Allen Hamilton pulled sponsorships, referring to the president's executive orders -- one of which prohibits the U.S. government from contracting with companies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. The World Pride event is taking place in Washington D.C. this year, the first time in the United States since the New York City event in 2019.  The larger sponsors of homosexual/transgender Pride events like World Pride include Hilton, Delta Airlines, Amazon, IKEA, Verizon, Corona, Fresca, and Starbucks. Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Kroger are also supporting homosexual events this year. 1 John 2:16 and 17 speaks of lust and pride. It says, “All that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Focus on the Family targeted for affirming God's design for sexuality Focus on the Family is being targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its opposition to homosexual behavior and gender transition for youths. The leftist group was particularly outraged with Jim Daly's more recent interviews of Rosaria Butterfield, and an interview of Walt Heyer and Kathy Grace Duncan. These were Christians who have repented of sins of homosexual behavior and transgenderism.   The Southern Poverty Law Center has been notorious for conflating Christian groups with Neo-Nazi and racist groups in the United States, and promoting persecution of Christians. Other ministries on their list include Family Research Council, Liberty Council, Coral Ridge Ministries, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Generations. Abortion Kill Pill creator died at 98 A French scientist, responsible for the deaths of 50 million babies, himself died last week at 98 years of age. Étienne-Émile Baulieu was instrumental in the development of the abortion kill pill, RU-486, in 1980.  About half of abortions in developed nations have been conducted by the abortion pill since the 2010s.  Today, chemical abortion accounts for 63% of all abortions in America. The BBC reports that French President Emmanuel Macron, called Dr Baulieu "a beacon of courage" and "a progressive mind who enabled women to win their freedom." 6 Worldview donors gave $730 And finally, toward this week's $30,875 goal to fund The Worldview newcast by this Friday, June 6th, six listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Daniel in San Luis Potosí, Mexico who gave $5, Kimberly in  Sacramento, California who gave $25, and Deborah in  Cosmopolis, Washington who gave $50. We're also grateful to God for Keith and Marsha in Morgan, Colorado who gave $100, Genita in Bardstown, Kentucky who gave $250, and Frances in Beacon, New York who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Ready for our total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $730 (People clapping sound effect)  That means by this Friday, we need to raise $30,145.  I received an intriguing text from a friend in Michigan. She suggested that I ask if someone would prayerfully consider underwriting half of our entire budget.  That would be $61,750.  Or perhaps you could cover the $30,145 that we need to raise this week. But, alas if those big dollar amounts are not remotely possible, every $25 and $50 donation gets us incrementally closer to being fully funded. Just go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.   I would love to see 20 people make donations on this, our second day.   Consider making a monthly pledge by clicking on the recurring donation tab. Let's see what the Lord will do as The Worldview in 5 Minutes proclaims the truth in a world of pagan-biased news.

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

Southwest Airlines has scrapped its signature free-checked-bag perk, instituting $35 and $45 fees for first and second bags, moving toward assigned seating with extra charges, and framing the changes as essential for competitiveness and profit. OpenAI, meanwhile, is forming a hardware company to build AI-native devices that could become travelers' primary booking assistants, giving the startup a chance to rethink consumer tech from the ground up and challenge incumbents like Apple and Google. Finally, the 2021 investigative book The Machine chronicles Booking.com's tumultuous rise, revealing cultural rifts, leadership shake-ups, and a long-standing resistance to sharing data and resources with other Booking Holdings brands.

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.

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.
