Jeff named chairman of board of directors; announces senior leadership realignment
We announced Thursday that our board of directors named Jeff chairman of the board effective Dec. 31, 2012. Transition of the chairmanship at this time was part of our 2010 merger agreement.
In addition, we announced a realignment of our senior management team as we shift to our post-integration phase.

Jim Compton assumes the position of vice chairman and chief revenue officer. Jim will oversee both operations and the traditional revenue side of United’s business. Pete McDonald, EVP and chief operations officer, will report directly to Jim.

Jeff Foland will oversee the airline’s marketing and loyalty, technology, strategy and customer experience groups as EVP marketing, technology and strategy.
