Southwest Airlines warns staff of 'tough decisions' ahead, Bloomberg reports

The airline is considering making changes to its flight routes and schedules to increase revenue, the report added, citing the transcript of a video message to employees by Chief Operating Officer Andrew Watterson. Southwest did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Earlier this week, Reuters reported that Elliott, which owns 10% of Southwest's common shares, told one of the company's top unions it still wants to replace CEO Robert Jordan, even after the carrier pledged to shake up its board.
