Southwest announced five promotions to help with operations. The airline canceled thousands of flights in late December because of a winter storm.
announced a number of executive promotions on Monday, days after announcing that last month’s service meltdown will cost the company up to $825 million, but none of the changes involved the highest ranking officers.said the changes "will strengthen our operational execution" while also saying they were long-planned and a continuation of restructuring that began in September under a new CEO, Robert Jordan.
The most notable move was the promotion of Adam Decaire from vice president of network planning to senior vice president of network planning and network operations control. Southwest said this would add reliability to its operation by creating "a tighter feedback loop" between designing the schedule and actually flying it.
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.
