"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" Why, he's no witch at all!

Oct 30 2009

"There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like..." Southwest on Halloween! Yup, Gary Kelly surprised us all when he showed up at our Headquarters in Dallas dressed as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz."

Of course, you can't have Dorothy without the entire posse, so the Executive Office is represented by the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, the Wicked Witch of the West, a flying monkey, and even a Munchkin!

My favorite part had to be Toto in his specialty SWA-approved pet carrier. That's right, pets CAN NOW fly on Southwest, and what better way to get the word out about our new P.A.W.S. (Pets Are Welcome on Southwest) program?

So click your ruby slippers, close your eyes, and follow the yellow brick road. Happy Halloween to all!

The entire cast of "The Wizard of Oz."

Dorothy/Gary smiles for the camera.

Good minds work along the same track...I am going to be Dorothy this evening! I love Southwest Airlines. Please continue to be as great an airline as you are! And I hope the CEO never stops being a kid at heart!
