I think that is the new SouthWest Airlines billboard motto. :laugh:

As much as I enjoy Flying, I still drink half a bottle of Pepto Bismol the morning of each trip. LOL
I'm not afraid of dying. Just the incredible anxiety of the plumeting to my death before impact. Why be afraid of instant death? I am more afraid of knowing death looms ahead of us, often with long lingering illness.
I'd much rather die in my sleep like my grandmother, not screaming in terror like the passengers in her car. <--sorry, that is an old joke but a good one. LOL

Oops! Sorry bout that. I saw that my post took on too serious of a tone, so I thought I'd toss in that old joke. My grandmother didn't die in a car crash!
Let's move on to nicer things. Wanna talk about Jake Gyllenhaals cute butt?

A mother and her 5 yr old son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"
The mother, who couldn't think of an answer, told her son to ask the stewardess.
So the boy walks to the galley and asks the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have babyplanes?"
The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?"
The boy said, "Yes, she did...."
"Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you."
;D ;D ;D
Airplane travel is rife with gallows humor. Someone in describing the sinking of the Titanic equated it with modern airline travel. There is the understanding that when you agree to the mode of travel, you are accepting the risk that you may not make it and go down with the ship.
Let's see, TWA = travel with ammo.
Delta was cute - 'don't even leave the airport'.
