Flying High With Southwest

Back in March, CNN and The Wall Street Journal profiled David Holmes, at right, otherwise known as the rapping Southwest Airlines flight attendant — and one of the stars of Saturday night’s SWA employee banquet at the downtown Sheraton, where, from all appearances, the airline spent far more than peanuts despite last week’s notes of caution concerning an expected drop in June revenues for the Dallas-based carrier. (Among the featured performers: an American Idol and Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update” anchor Seth Meyers.) The video of Holmes’s appearance Saturday night follows.
