Southwest workers warned of ‘difficult decisions’ ahead
Southwest Airlines has forewarned its workers there could be some tough times ahead.
It comes as the airline tries to restore profitability while working to head off demands for change by activist investor Elliott Investment Management.
In a video message to the workforce, COO Andrew Watterson said tough decisions are ahead.
The airline is looking at optimizing its flight network to increase efficiency and revenue.
This could mean dropping some routes.
“I apologize in advance if you as an individual are affected by it,” Watterson said.
He gave no other hints about what lies ahead for the airline.
The airline has already announced some fundamental changes are coming regarding it seating policy and premium service.
It will also offer red-eye flights for the first time.
It will present its new strategy to investors later this week.
