How do you get one of these jars? Well, you might just have to change employment and even
that isn't a guarantee that you'll be the proud owner of a Southwest Airlines cookie jar! I've only seen two of these
jars, both on eBay over the past few six months. When I finally was able to buy one, I went to work immediately
in search of more information. The PR department at Southwest Airlines came through for me,
explaining the jars have never
been for sale, but are a gift from President Coleen Barrett to employees. The jars are not given for any special
or particular occassion, just a surprise treat.
Barrett had the jars commissioned specifically for her and has given out several hundred over the
last five or six years.
And since Southwest's employees are particularly
devoted to the company, they are a very special gift, hence rarely seen for sale.
The total number produced is not known, but thought to be in the 500 - 700 number range.
