Southwest Airlines Tells Employees To Brace For ‘Tough Decisions’
24.09.2024 - 18:57 / travelpulse.com / North America / Robert Jordan / Andrew Watterson / Rich Thomaselli
Southwest Airlines has issued a warning to employees without actually warning them. It’s more preparatory that something ominous is likely coming.
Southwest told employees that ‘tough decisions’ are ahead. Read into that what you will, but it’s part of an overall strategy to boost profits at the airline.
A video message was sent to employees by Chief Operating Officer Andrew Watterson.
"I apologize in advance if you as an individual are affected by it," Watterson said. He did not offer any details on the potential moves.
Southwest did not immediately comment further.
Southwest is the fourth-largest airline in the United States. The carrier is still struggling because of the pandemic and a delay in deliveries from its primary manufacturer, Boeing.
An investor in the company with 10 percent shares in the airline said it would like to replace CEO Robert Jordan. It has not been a good year financially for Southwest.
