AIRLINE INDUSTRY

Ok as we all know the airline industry is having their troubles along with every other industry. I feel very blessed to be working for an AMAZING airline, Southwest. Granted we have our good & bad eggs, but for the most part everyone is AWESOME to work with. We are paid very well, get treated FABULOUSLY (compared to the others), & have great benefits. Over-all Southwest Airlines Employees should be & I think are very happy to be working for one of the best carriers in the world.

That being said, Kayla & I wanted to come back Sunday afternoon & all the flights were full so non-rev traveling was out the window. (that is flying for free (seat available) for those who don't know this term) I looked on-line & found a ticket for $139.00 Orlando to DFW, this is a very good price being I was buying it Sunday morning. The airline I was flying I have had issues with in the past & told myself NEVER AGAIN WOULD I BE FLYING THIS AIRLINE.... I thought what the heck it is cheap & we really wanted to get home. So James takes us to the airport (he had to stay back and play in a caddy tournament today, which he won!) We get up to the ticket counter and I had shipped a bunch of stuff home so I knew my bag was safe. James puts my bag on the scale & I CRAP YOU NOT the lady bust out a tape measure and starts measuring my bag. I started to laugh being I fly with this bag all the time (it is the club glove duffel type bag.) She says to me, "your bag is 62 & 1/2 inches we only allow 1 bag 62 inches free." I literally started to laugh & she got pissed.... (This airline is known for only hiring "certain type" of people, which I thought wasn't legal anymore but who am I to judge) James then becomes mad and demands a supervisor. We are now creeping on the "45 minute" rule they have, the supervisor comes over & she measure it again. She said see 62 & 1/2 (James is getting real mad now) He says to the Supervisor, will you please measure the bag I know it is under 62 inches & I am not paying $75 extra for it. The guy does it and sure enough it is under 62 inches... IDIOTS I SAY.... You know these airlines want people to keep flying them but every time you turn around they are giving poor customer assistance & charging you for everything. There was even more drama when we got to the plane but I am not even going to get into it... they are all just a bunch of nuts....

I just know & we vowed to never again FLY THIS ATLANTA BASED AIRLINE!!!!!!!!! That all being said we are back!!! Miss Kayla starts her new school on Tuesday (hope it goes great). James is coming home tonight & we are ready for some R&R before the holidays. Disney can really WIPE every inch of energy out of you!!!! :)

Hope everyone is great & have a wonderful day! xoxoxo
