Nader Presidential Campaign Announces Southwest Airlines as its
Unofficial Campaign Airline

Based on several years of experience with an upstart airline from
Texas, the Nader Presidential campaign announces Southwest Airlines as
its unofficial campaign airline.

"George W. Bush has his Air Force One to under-reimburse for campaign
trips. John Kerry has his leased Boeing 757 to tour the country. But
we have Southwest Airlines and its entire fleet of aircraft at our
disposal," declared independent Presidential candidate, Ralph Nader.

"Frugal tickets, pleasant, responsive people, with humor and a desire
to say yes, and very interesting passengers to converse with combined,
for us, to make this selection," he added. All passengers fly coach on
Southwest, as befits a Presidential campaign for the people. No one at
Southwest Airlines was contacted about this announcement.

Nader had a good word for Southwest Airlines founder, Herb Kelleher.
"Mr. Kelleher has demonstrated that the lowest paid chief executive,
now chairman of the Board, of any major domestic airline, has produced
better service, lower fares, and more profits, in dollars, than the
top largest three airlines combined over the past three years. This
record comes because he cares about his employees and passengers far
more than the kind of compensation packages, contingent stock options,
and golden parachutes demanded by his counterparts," said Nader. "'Pay
less, get more' is the reverse of so many big corporate CEOs in recent
years, who paid themselves more and gave less, if they did not
collapse their company (Enron, WorldCom, etc.) outright," Nader
declared.

In return, the Nader campaign asks nothing more than the ear of
management for any signs of airline deterioration that should be
reversed. Oh, one more request – keep the roasted peanuts coming.
Pretzels just don't do it.
