Happy Birthday, Herb! Wishing the man who taught the airline industry what it truly means to soar a year filled with laughter and many reasons for comfortable cruising altitude. Your legendary leadership at Southwest Airlines introduced not just peanuts and friendly fares, but also memorable wisdom like "hire attitude over skill"—and apparently style involving cowboy boots instead of suits!From groundbreaking customer service strategies to famously settling disputes through arm wrestling matches (seriously!), you’ve always shown us business can indeed have heart AND humor. May this birthday bring as much delight as your fun-loving commercials brought smiles—and don’t worry: your witty legacies won't ever run out of frequent flyer miles!
