So, to Paula Berg of Southwest Airlines, the airline company’s "behind-the-scenes Blog Queen", who says, regarding the events of March 6-7, 2008, and the now-record US$10,200,000 in fines racked up by Southwest: "...this situation was never and is not now a safety of flight issue". Nonsense, Paula. Cracks in airplanes? Nonsense, Paula. I've been around publicists and other entertainment folk for over 20 years, and I have heard better publicity emanating from self-plugging screenwriters on acid. And, Paula, as for: "[t]he FAA approved our actions and considered the matter closed as of April 2007". Nonsense, Paula. It's not "closed", until WE the PUBLIC say it is closed! Take that back to your superiors for me - and tell them that we are just getting started. Oh – and, congratulations on staying behind the scenes. John J. Tormey III, Esq. Quiet Rockland The first page of Google results about Southwest Airlines flack Paula Berg tells us this:

Now, never mind “wacky”, and “off-the-wall” – “behind-the-scenes Blog Queen” and “Nuts about Southwest” say it all for me.

So, to Paula Berg of Southwest Airlines, the airline company’s “behind-the-scenes Blog Queen”, who says, regarding the events of March 6-7, 2008, and the now-record US$10,200,000 in fines racked up by Southwest:

“…this situation was never and is not now a safety of flight issue”.
Nonsense, Paula. Cracks in airplanes? Nonsense, Paula.

I’ve been around publicists and other entertainment folk for over 20 years, and I have heard better publicity emanating from self-plugging screenwriters on acid.

And, Paula, as for:

“[t]he FAA approved our actions and considered the matter closed as of April 2007″.

Nonsense, Paula.

It’s not “closed”, until WE the PUBLIC say it is closed! Take that back to your superiors for me – and tell them that we are just getting started.

Oh – and, congratulations on staying behind the scenes.

I just began working at home a couple of months ago, and I immediately went out and bought five tracksuits to make up my new “uniform!” It takes me two minutes to get ready for work, I’m always ready to hit the gym, and I think I look pretty cool too! Thanks for the nod to Southwest Airline’s blog, Nuts About Southwest. We’ve been up and running for almost two years now, and it’s been a blast. I’m a huge proponent of the “Team approach” when it comes to corporate blogging. It helps to balance the work load, and it keeps the content fresh and diverse. We’ve got a team of about 30 bloggers at Southwest Airlines, and each one has their own unique voice, perspective, and audience. I don’t think our blog would be nearly as successful if it were written by just one of our Employees. Paula Berg Southwest Airlines Hey Tracksuit – Great advice, and great name for your blog!
