Key Statements

"Like every company and organization, we were getting requests to consider how we would get involved in particular political topics, legal topics and social issues. And so about a little over a year ago, we created an ad hoc committee. It has representation from communications, investor relations. We've got our compliance area, diversity and inclusion, and our general counsel legal area. And we get together on a monthly basis and we talk about what kind of hot issues there might be coming up, whether or not Southwest Airlines should take a stand or engage and then what that would look like."
