It’s SWAVictor’s SWA Anniversary!
Hi FT Friends. Just dropping a note to share that it’s SWAVictor’s 28 Year SWA Anniversary today! Hip, hip, hooray!
Behind the scenes...I have the privilege of getting to work with Victor everyday here at Southwest. He works on our Digital team supporting our desktop platforms including Southwest.com and Swabiz.com where he’s always working on new features and enhancements. He’s been helping me recently by keeping a closer eye on FlyerTalk as this group has such Eagle Eyes when it comes to Southwest digital functionality. Your input is so helpful to all of us on the digital team.
This year will mark nearly 10 years that I’ve had the pleasure of working with Victor. He has taught me everything I know about pricing, ticketing, exchanges, Swabiz, and so much more.
If you would like, please join me in wishing Victor a Happy SWA Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, Victor!!
With only 28 years in, I guess you're still deciding if you want to make it your career?
Sending a Kick Tail coupon your way via PM as a cheesy gift. Other FTers are encouraged to steal my idea to do the same!!!
Your posts and presence (even if just lurking some of the time) are appreciated!

And we are approaching the 12th anniversary of his posting on Flyertalk. I am quite certain everyone appreciates his help and additions to our knowledge here.

Thank You everyone! It honestly seems like yesterday that I showed up at the Chicago Reservation Center for my first day of training, what a crazy fun ride its been!
I had no idea that I was nearing 12 years of official presence on FlyerTalk - even more to celebrate!
I love the opportunity to interact with all of you, and hopefully turn your feedback into a better digital experience for everyone.
Thanks to SWAMark for allowing this to be an official part of my responsibilities!
expert7700 - Thanks for the Kick Tail! Lets hope my entry gets chosen as a winner to earn some SWAG points that I can redeem for Rapid Rewards points!
After 28 years of non-rev travel, its really nice to fly confirmed and yes, I often "lurk" just to see what you guys are talking about - ha! Beyond your digital experience I learn so much about he industry from all of you. and, of course, thanks for continuing to fly with us, and use the onboard wifi!

SWAVictor - Congratulations on your 28 years at SWA and 12 years here on Flyertalk! I remember when you first joined SWABrian here, since then you have always been helpful no matter how weird/confusing our SWA tech issues were.

I still enjoy my job, and especially right now while I'm still isolating (Dallas is the #5 hotspot for new cases right now), I think I'd go crazy if I didn't have a job to keep me busy every day!

SWABrian was a great guy and he is truly missed. It's amazing how long many of you have been here! and, I think the weirder and more confusing the questions, the more I enjoy digging up the answers !
