‘And then, a thousand rubber chickens appeared in the boss’s office. The boss was not seen again.’

This feels like a April fools joke

Round of applause for those rubber chickens! 👏👏👏

How does a $20,000,000 simulator use some $3 rubber chickens lol

Toy story lore is that those rubber chickens actually do maintenance on the simulators

My proof if my friends say that rubber chickens aren't lucky: *this video*

Gotta love the aviation community, that’s awesome

This is aviation logic at its finest something is wrong. Adjust some things. Problem fixed. Start removing adjustments. Problem back. Undo last change

All hail the rubber chicken

There has to be some kind of explanation for this

My dad is a southwest pilot and I got to go inside the sim room and I can confirm this is 100% true.

Southwest just can’t afford to actually fix the sims

"quack....." Last words before the chicken saved them

Ruber chickens: when am I gonna go home to feed my kids?

EMPLOYEES: let's hang a rubber chicken for good luck Boss :GET THOSE RUBBER CHIKEN OFF

imagine your company dying and one little rubber chicken saved it

I wonder if people squeeze those rubber chickens for fun before training

Give an rubber chicken an oscar

Someone is secretly sabotaging the simulators just so they can hang rubber chickens everywhere 😋

1 Rubber Chicken = Millions Of Dollars Saved😂

imagine the torture the chickens are going through just for pilots to fly (no wonder why captain sully had to deal with birds, it’s an act of revenge!)

I'm imagining the Southwest CEO making requests to Boeing to add rubber chickens somewhere inside of the cockpit or airframe for good luck which is why Southwest airlines is one of the best in our country

The person who had the idea is the culprit

Rubber chickens and prayer are equally effective, but rubber chickens are more fun.

Rubber chickens after this: *STONKS* 📈📈📈📈

When you have to use the most goofy ahh way to appease the Machine Spirit

I Saw a Rubber Chicken hanging on The Nose of a C-47 Skytrain at Altus AFB

Guess the “AAAAAAH!” Tells the engineers that their short fix need to happen

plot twist: chickens are actually aliens and they have the power to destroy anything they want, but for some reason they only like destroying flight simulators. The chickens that were hung up were a repellant as they did not want to destroy their own species.

The boss: take down the chickens, they look stupid Some random pilot 5 seconds later: hey, the simulator is broken again The boss: get the chickens

Me with a 2 foot screaming chicken in my room

Ive been to southwest headquarters and I can confirm! Every employee knows the story, its also rly good symbolism for their fun work culture, amazing company

The fact they did it in hopes for “good luck”, and it WORKED… Those rubber chickens gotta have some magic in them

and then the chickens drowned said ‘boss’ in 6000 rubber chickens and he died shortly after.

Do not anger the chicken lord he will curse any airline with bad luck

Plot twist: someone was sabotaging the simulators until they put the rubber chickens back

ALL HAIL RUBBER CHICKENS

So basically God bless them with rubber chickens so there $20.000 flight simulators won’t break

Bro I can imagine the person saying "Alr so we waste almost all of our money for rubber chickens then we shove it inside the engine

in the future: "this is how a man blinking saved everyone from world war 3" 💀💀

Aviation at its finest, something breaks, change something, change it back, hreaks again, undo thr changes

The boss being deposed by rubber chickens

Chickens: help me (boss: ok)

“I have explosive diarrhea-Let me explain!”

That left me hanging 💀

It’s actually really funny that if you look under the flight simulator you see a rubber chicken just looking at you

Those rubber chickens got themselves quite the job there, and so long as those simulators dont fall over, theyll have done it right

Bro got a "totem of no-unluckyness"

The boss is like what do we do to stop the flight simulator from breaking and the employee is like let’s use rubber chicknes

i need the chickens

Evryone probably went to my future airline and airplane

“Real footage” Got me off lackin💀

I feel like southwest has more than 8 simulators now.

Boss: “IHATE CHICKEN💀 💀 💀 💀”

POV: you play games with broken logic

Machines have a mind of their own. Take away their toy and the become mad!

reasons why chickens can actually fly:

This is a lot like game development, like you can place a tin can out of bounds for testing but if you dare to remove it later in development everything will brake down and light on fire

God is using spare time to keep this meme alive.

That’s why their flight scheduling programs all failed - not enough rubber chickens.

Realizes that the guy who wanted the chickens broke it

the boss be raging

Nah, someone must have been sabotaging, stopped when the chickens got hung up, resumed sabotaging after they were taken down, then stopped when they were permanently put back up.

Pov: The pilot is scared of chickens

Sounds like a very elaborate prank on the boss

Damn, I there a reason though?

My brother went to California and he went on that and also miss my brother😢😢😢

Well, that explains a lot.

I know the headquarters are in Denver but I didn’t see them and i think only workers are allowed in there not passengers

God needs chickens, so when pilots go thru turbulence all they here is *chicken noises*

Me hearing the furst sentence 🫠🫠🫥😶😶‍🌫️😅😅

The duck gods have blessed them

This is the most random hilarious fact I have ever heard 😂

I just can imagine it. " remove that garbage!" *craShhh*

The boss admitted defeat

Everyone probably went to delta airlines

*_*Visible Confusion*_*

I assumed that it was something where the sims hit something so they put chickens to hear it so they can stop it

Looks like the curse just wants rubber chickens

did you know that southwest are one of the biggest airlines in Colorado because of how trusted they are?

The gods of Fate have a really weird sense of humor

southwest be going crazy ☠️

I know this has nothing to do with the short, but I like these shorts where the intro finishes the last sentence of the outro.

You mess with the chicken you get the squeak-🐤

Southwest after trying to fly to northeast 💀

They hang real chickens from the real Aircraft..

MVP: Heihei the Chicken

I feel bad for the person that probably got suck in the simulator when it was sideways.

I HOPE THEY ARE OKAY 😢😢😢

They should try attaching a weight where the chickens are equal to the chickens weight and try that.

Bro.. I’m never going on southwest again

How are you gonna pay $20,000,000 dollars and have that many issues when you can get logictech gear for a lot less and have no issues

I want to fly for southwest and now when I need to go into their sims I’ll make sure to squeeze a chicken for good luck

I ain't no superstitious man..

As an avgeek with 150 rubber chickens (no jokes) I can confirm they are magical.

the boss should regret it

Some maintenance dude with sabotaging those machines just to have rubber chickens in them

rubber chicken = energy

Southwest airlines is partnering with rubber chickens
