Default Southwest does it right again

Some may call it trashy.... Although I think that it is just good marketing:

Yeah, but there might also be operational risks associated with that...

"GROUND, SWA. You want us to taxi all the way around there??? But that will take us around the south complex and the tower??? Why can't we just go straight to to the gate?

These guys @ SWA are pure marketing geniuses!!! Just think of the revenue that will be generated. Sounds like they re-visited the old National Airlines marketing ploy...."Hi. I'm Debbie. Fly me." This time, they painted a picture on the fuselage. Brilliant.
