We need to cut VP’s like crazy and trim HDQ of the excess personnel that have nothing to do with running a profitable airline.
Most of the time new CEO’s put their own people in place. Especially in executive positions. Middle management should be worried. Some frontline employee groups should worried also. Their are some jobs here that are unique to SWA. This is the most heavily unionized place. Most other airlines were able to eliminate or transfer some of these jobs through reorganization. We’ll see how it plays out but a new CEO will definitely take the garbage out.
Seems like EM doesn’t even want them to implement anything at all. Don’t waste the money. Hence why they will push the special meeting next month.
