Southwest Airlines Q1 2008 Earnings Call Transcript

Uhm 'Mr. Murdock III',

You don't mind if I call you Sandy? Not that you intended Murdock 'the Third' to be any more pompous than it really is?

Sandy, the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore.
YOU on the other hand, go right ahead. Set your self on fire baby! Far better it be you and your galpal Baron Bobby burning than airline passengers as a result of Bobby's gross incompetance.

'unsubstantiated attacks'??? uh huh. And you probably think the economic crisis gripping the credit markets is just a rumor that will blow over.

But now for something that cuts me right to the heart, what kind of |American are you? No American would butcher the English language quite the way you did.

You wrote 'unsubstantiated attacks on the person of a hard working, conscientious professional.'

You can attack the character of a person. You can attack the qualifications of a professional. But basically what you wrote (dropping the fictitious adjectives and accolades, is the 'attack on the person of a professional'.

Your parents must be so proud of you. What happened, you missed school the few years they were teaching English? Or was your lawyer 'edumacation' from DeVry Tech?

Keep up the fine, fine work. And remember, it's not to late for that civil service exam!
