About Ward: Airline Life

I’ve been flying for Southwest Airlines since leaving the Air Force. We fly Boeing 737s exclusively, and when I first began working at SWA the airline didn’t even serve the east coast. Today we fly all across America, and also to Central America, the Caribbean, and Hawaii. The highlight of my career came a few months ago when I flew with my oldest son, Lance, who is now a first officer with Southwest. I’ll probably transition soon to full-time writing, but I couldn’t have made a better career choice.
