I love holidays. I love pranks. Mix the two and you get an amazing April Fool's Day. I thought about posting something outrageous such as ”Southwest to Begin Serving Inflight Meals” or ”CEO Gary Kelly Joins the Cast of Celebrity Apprentice.” Then I thought....nothing could be more fun than playing a prank on my own department.
I enlisted the help of our extremely talented Graphic Design and Creative Services Team to produce two lil' prank calls. In the first prank call Trent Duran prentends to be Simon, a dweeby texter/facebooker who fell in LUV with PR Manager, Brandy King, after viewing this video response on You Tube. I have a feeling she was in on our prank.
Next, we pranked our own poor, unsuspecting Blog Boy Brian. Quyen Dong did a great job as infatuated blog fan, Julie.

Christi and Quyen,
You two are pretty devious. You really had me going right up until the end!

UNCOMFORTABLE!!! :D
I was just wondering if Southwest did anything fun for April Fools day like some other holidays. Nicely done...
Althought someone in the industry did play a prank on SWA---

Southwest really does like to celebrate every holiday and celebrate hard. I am in reservations in Phoenix. My shift is the closing shift so five minutes before we were suppose to end last night our supervisor sends us a message saying that Oklahoma City reservations was going down and that we needed to say avaliable because we had 100 calls coming in. All of us were freaking out. We had five minutes before we were suppose to go home and here we had to stay for over time. As soon as the clock struck 1am (the exact time we close) up pops a message "April Fools". Talk about crazy.
Brandy didn't seem like she fell too hard.
Brian,
Dude!! You totally like blew it, man. Julie is just like way HOT and you just SOOOO missed your big chance. I'm completely bummed that you were so reluctant to like hook up or whatever, ya know? I used to think you were like way cool but I think you like totally broke her heart.
Hey, Julie, give me a call instead, I'm like far more awesome than Brian...

Dude, I am like so shy when it comes to fans!
Blog Boy
Brian,
I can't see that!
Brian,
If you're so shy, why do you hold Brian Lusk Fan Club meetings with two-hour long autograph sessions by the famous Blog Boy yourself, TWICE a month? Besides, if you were truly shy, you wouldn't charge $15.00 per autograph or $30 for signed 8" x 10" color glossies of yourself.
Of course, I'm just ticked that I didn't know about those meetings before I had already bought your color photo on eBay for $87.95...
