1,971 Members
In June 1971, Southwest Airlines launched its inaugural flight from Dallas Love Field, marking the beginning of a journey rooted in "democratizing" the skies through friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel.We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our community: we have reached 1,971 active members, a number that mirrors the founding year of Southwest Airlines.
As we celebrate reaching 1,971 members, colleagues, and friends, we reflect on the core values that have defined Southwest Airlines since its inception:
- Warrior Spirit: Striving to be the best and never giving up.
- Servant’s Heart: Following the Golden Rule and treating others with respect.
- Fun-LUVing Attitude: Embracing a sense of humor and not taking oneself too seriously.
These principles have fostered a culture where people come first, creating a unique environment that values each individual. If we're not doing this for our members, we're in the wrong business.
We are proud to embody these values within Southwest Virtual Airlines, ensuring that our community remains fun, loving, caring, and reliable. This milestone is a testament to the dedication and passion of you. Whether you registered 15 years ago, yesterday, or even if you're the 1,971st member, you are the reason that all of this is here.
Looking ahead to 2025, Southwest Virtual Airlines is poised to modernize flight simulation in ways never seen before. We remain at the forefront, committed to delivering a friendly, realistic, and reliable experience for every member. With the upcoming launch of our new website and ongoing enhancements to LUVCARS, we are setting the standard for innovation and excellence, ensuring we stay ahead of the pack and continue to lead the way in virtual aviation.
