a fun book

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Marty on a Southwest Airline flight between Phoenix and Oklahoma City last year while I was still traveling as a Physician Assistant educator prior to the start of my Real Estate sales carrier. His book is as delightful, especially for all of us Southwest Airline commuters, as is Marty in person -- a fun unique read written by a fun unique guy. Harvey

Flying Southwest should be considered an extreme sport!

I received this manual as a gift from my Dad. My friends and family know me to be an adrenaline junky who chooses the thrill of flying Southwest. Dont give me those fancy lah-de-dah airlines with their comfortable seats and routine plane maintenance. The thrill is somewhere between parachuting and bungee jumping! So when I received this guide to Southwest I thought, 'what is this sh#t!'. But let me tell you - it is AWESOME, baby! This guy is tighrope walking that fine line between insanity and genius. (Maybe more towards the insanity part). He has developed techniques to get on the plane first, get the best seats, free drinks, controlling the arm-rest and the holy grail of flying - GETTING A ROW TO YOURSELF. You have got to read this thing before it gets corrupted when they make it into a movie.

Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny, Funny, Funny, I laughed so hard for so long that I developed a bladder problem. Hope to see a lot more from this author!!!!!!!!!!!!!
