We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest. ↗

Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go. ↗
