The airplane has had a big impact on my life.

I came from the music business, which reputedly has the biggest egos, but I really think the airline world caps it.

I've got stuff about airline mergers, which just shows that my stand-up is getting more insane by the minute.

I think airlines have been very much parrots. They'll just follow what everyone else is doing. Why change a model that they're happy in? And it takes someone like myself or Richard Branson who comes from outside the industry to say, 'Hey, let's try something new.'

A lot of airlines have come and gone.

When I started working on Southwest Airlines, I kid you not, only people flying on business and very wealthy people ever flew.

Airlines are interesting. They not only favor celebrities, they court them.

The airline business is the biggest team sport in the world. When you're all consumed with fighting among yourselves, your opponents can run over you every day.

I had some airline stock, but the airlines tanked. I didn't have a lot of money in them, though.

Aircraft are always going to be something that terrorists are interested in because you bring down an airliner, you have drawn the world's attention.
