Twitter followers should know first! Big announcement on www.blogsouthwest.com in about an hour….consider yourselves informed!

So that’s what Twitter is for: teasing big, corporate announcements.

  1. Could this have anything to do with the major corporate relocation to downtown that’s going to be announced this afternoon?

  2. Not likely John M. The relocation in question is simply Tenet Healthcare moving from the Galleria to downtown. I can’t think of a reason why that would impact SWA.

  3. Two days ago, the employee website had an announcement that the roll out of wifi service would begin in the 4th quarter. It was originally slated for this month, but has slipped.

    Bet that’s it.

  4. Ugh, I missed that the DMN said that it was Tenet taking over the space, I thought it might have been Southwest moving into the building.

  5. SWA wouldn’t move to expensive downtown office space – that would go against everything they’ve built the airline on. Now, American Airlines . . . .

  6. I’ve been to the site, but nothing yet (I can find) – so what was the announcement?

  8. I think the “big announcement” was Southwest’s contest to fine a “Blog-o-spondent” for its corporate blog.

  9. @ jimbo. That was already there when they twittered..

  10. And we have a winner, “Blog-O-Spondent” is correct…

    (And yes, I work at SWA)
