> Ask them about the chickens hanging from the bottom.

Maybe you should tell me about the chickens, since I am unlikely to ever get to ask anyone at Southwest HQ.

A worker was superstitious and wanted to hang rubber chickens from the bottom of the full-motion simulators. IIRC, one was hung beneath a simulator, then removed, and the simulator stopped working. So, the management caved and allowed rubber chickens to be hung beneath all of them. That worker had a simulator dedicated to him and they put two rubber chickens under that one.
