Fun fact I found in an NYT article and LinkedIn: The current CEO Bob Jordan started at Southwest in 1988 as a computer programmer. From 2006-2008 he was EVP of Strategy and Technology
FWIW, a SouthWest pilot with 35 YOE at the company placed most of the blame on the previous CEO's lack of investment in operations in chase of shareholder profits.
The pilot gave the current CEO Bob Jordan (who started in early 2022) a vote of confidence and stated that he has strongly signaled his intention to improve the state of SW's systems, but obviously was unable to do so before this meltdown.
