My favorite Southwest Airlines story: This was back in the late 80s when I was buying and selling muscle cars. It's a scrounge for bizarre parts thing, every car has some weird stuff that is broken, some different things that need to be fixed, every one is a new adventure in rebuilding a vehicle. Anyway, I had to fly somewhere with another guy for an unrelated business trip. We got on the plane, no problem, all fine, took off, no problem. Then I went to the head. In the head, I noticed that some of the plastic parts didn't quite fit exactly right. They were sorta slightly different colors and like that. Then I started looking around the plane and I noticed that a LOT of the parts seemed to be kinda jammed together sorta. Overhead racks, seats, all kinds of stuff, looked like maybe it had been scrounged from other airplanes. I looked out the window and noticed that parts of the wing were a slightly different brown than other parts. I was on a rebuilt vehicle. I started laughing. I mean, what can you do? We made it. Good mechanics I guess.
