Holly spoke recently about Halloween at Southwest Airlines. No other holiday could fit the corporate culture better than Halloween. In fact, most of headquarters was doing nothing but working on Halloween for the week leading into our celebration, Friday Oct. 27th. On that Friday, literally the entire HDQ was shutdown for the day of fun. Skits were put on by department, carnivals held inside the building for employee's kids and more candy than you can shake a stick at. In the truest of Southwest forms, it was BYOB the whole day. Below are some pictures. Enjoy.
This is me. I went dressed as Michael Jackson. Most departments have a theme. This year Internal Audit hosted a Skaryoke Bar. To go with our Bar, we all dressed as musical stars. Notice he one gloved hand, the broach and my pale white skin to pull off the dress!
These are the fearless leaders of Southwest Airlines. On the left you have the person my Team reports to (Departments are Teams at SWA), CEO: Gary Kelly as Jack Sparro. On the right you have the face of Southwest Airlines, founder and Chairman: Herb Kelleher as Perry Mason. In the center you have the kepper of the Culture or our Mom and President: Colleen Barrett as Della from Perry Mason.
And finally a picture of the whole team in the Bar. Notice the pregnant Brownie Scout and the white trash and pregnant Brittney Spears, front and center!Now back to work.

Andy, you were mentioned - at least that was the impression I got.
Justin, love the costume - you need some way to get your nose to look skinnier though. :-) Makes me want to work at SWA!
Yea! Pictures! Y'all watch out now- we're official.

Love the costume Justin! The broach was a nice touch. :)

Great pictures, Justin. The way you talk about work, I'm beginning to wonder if this is really how folks dress daily, and you only tell us about it on Halloween to make yourselves seem "normal."
