“Let me be clear: We messed up,” said Southwest Airlines Chief Operating Officer Andrew Watterson as he testified at a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing on airline operations and consumer protections amid recent mass cancellations by the airline. Mr. Watterson alongside a panel of experts testified on ways that Southwest Airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the aviation private sector can improve their operations and technology to prevent future incidents. In addition, the president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association asserted that company leadership had not addressed previous concerns shared by pilots and aviation workers prior to this winter incident. close
