Southwest Airlines is making a number of executive promotions, but nobody is getting fired after thousands of flights were canceled in late December.
FILE - Travelers queue up at the check-in counters for Southwest Airlines in Denver International Airport Friday, Dec. 30, 2022, in Denver. Southwest Airlines announced a number of executive promotions on Monday, Jan., 9, 2023, days after announcing that last months service meltdown will cost the company up to $825 million, but none of the changes involved the highest ranking officers.
Four of the five executives getting promoted joined Southwest in 2001 or before, although one left for five years before returning to the Dallas-based airline. A Southwest spokesman said no one was demoted or left the company in connection with Monday's moves. Some of the promotions were to fill openings left when other executives moved up — Decaire took on duties handled by Andrew Watterson before he was elevated to chief operating officer in October.
