Just keep thinking about the good side of ADD - the creativity and the originality it can stimulate.
From David Neeleman
What you can't buy is the loyalty that comes through our dedicated crewmembers.
We're reviewing everything to see how we can do it better, faster, and more efficiently.
We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest.
We don't want a third party who may or may not have our best interests in mind or our crew members' best interests in mind because they may be serving a union of one of our competitors. They are trying to equalize us and take away our competitive advantage.
We are just interested in dealing with the people we're paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.
Value will always be on top of everyone's lists now, right along with safety.
This is not a business where you can hand off and run by remote control.
The Blackberry is really essential for keeping up on my emails when I'm out of the office, which is a lot.
Seat assignment didn't matter if you're flying Dallas to Houston and you did it 38 times a day. People just got on, you didn't sit next to your wife, and it was a 45-minute flight. It didn't matter.
