No. Were people in tears? No. We landed, people clapped, and I thanked the pilots for earning their pay yesterday.

Today, to my surprise, I received a proactive email explaining what happened yesterday and saying a LUV voucher is on the way? I'm not really sure why Southwest is apologizing? Yes it was rough, but the pilots were professional and did a great job. I'll take the voucher, but it's definitely unnecessary. Anyone else ever gotten one for something this example? I've definitely had go-arounds before on WN and this is a first.
I have had many many flights like that, many on WN, and not once have a received such a thing, even as an A-lister. Perhaps a deliberate charm offensive?
