Our idiots in charge and the damned TSA, have made it such a PITA to fly, I avoid it whenever possible.
That aside, when I have to fly, if I can book one, I fly SWA, and for just the reasons noted above.
Thier pilots, flight crews and staff, all treat you like a person. Like they appreciate your doing business with them.

and

to the pilot for his humanitarian act of kindness.
In this day of $$$ first, I

his actions!

No excuse for TSA not to run him through. Thank you Southwest.

Kudos to Southwest for stepping up bigtime for this guy. Middle finger to TSA for being so cold. I know they have a job to do but occasionally you still have to be a human being and not treat everyone like cattle.

SW is a class act and has been for years .I fly quite a bit and SW offers a lot of direct non stop flights . Never had a bad experience .

All the pilots I know would have done the same thing.

I wonder why it two hours to check a bag.

Me either.
As a matter of fact, somewhere around here, I have a picture of me in the PIC seat of one of thier flights.

Asked the Captain and 1st officer if I could take a picture of them in the cockpit for my son.
Instead, the PIC said, I have a better idea.
You get in there, and I'll take a picture of you!
