The Southwest “Productivity” ads actually mean something.
I found the Southwest Air productivity line of ads they’ve been playing during the NFL playoffs funny, but I wasn’t sure how they really were tied back to Southwest Air. I have a jaded memory of Southwest, based on a cross country flight probably 10 years ago where I think we made 3 stops to [...]
