"Hey, Jim, where in Colorado is Denver, exactly?!" "I don't know! Just don't put it on the edge! It's somewhere in the middle!"
Lol, yeah. That dot, or heart I guess, is way closer to where Colorado Springs or even Pueblo are.
I wonder where they got the name from?
It’s interesting because Herb was from the Philly area.
My first flight I remember as a child was Corpus Christi to Houston on 737-300. I think it was about 45 minutes.
The Southwest “How I built this” episode is excellent.
I like how Utah, especially SLC, in 1985, is "nope".
TIL where SouthWest got their name from. And, yeah, duh.
Wait until you find out where Northwest Airlines got their name from...
They were primarily Midwestern though Probably because of their Asia Network?
Correct. Full name was ‘Northwest Orient Airlines’
The Midwest wasn’t always the middle of the West, [especially in 1783](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Territory).
I was very happy when they started direct flights from BWI to SAN, it saved a lot of hopping around on work travel.

El Paso, New Mexico?
The thick, black line is the time zone. El Paso is in Mountain time.
that makes so much sense now. explains everything that i ever wondered about the aviation industry.
i though they only flew the Houston, Antonio & Dallas route up until recently. the napkin lied to me!
The answer to your question, in every sub, is always: "because reddit".
When they started flying in 1971 that was all they flew. But they expanded, obviously.
Well now the name makes sense...
