Focus on people will be more important than ever as we navigate the impact of COVID-19 on our airline and industry. We are in unprecedented times that will require Scott Kirby, Brett Hart and the entire executive team to work with our union. Scott's operations background will be crucial to bringing our airline back as quickly as possible. Our union will make sure management remembers there are real people behind the numbers.
