Bob Jordan, president and CEO, Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV), joined KRLD's David Johnson in the CEO Spotlight.

Dallas-based Southwest Airlines reported a loss of $149-million in the first quarter which still beat Wall Street expectations. CEO Bob Jordan told KRLD's David Johnson they are pulling back in some areas because of a drop off in domestic leisure travel.

Shoot us a Text.Today, we're talking about how the White House lawn became a Tesla dealership yesterday. Plus, we're covering Ford's investment into EV charging for its drivers and how Southwest is ending its longstanding free bag policy.President Donald Trump, long an opponent of Joe Biden's EV push, threw a political curveball on Tuesday by inspecting—and even considering purchasing—a Tesla at the White House. The moment was seen as an olive branch to Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of Trump's administration and a key player in the EV industry.Despite campaigning against Biden's EV mandates, Trump praised Tesla's technology and price points at the event.His appearance with Musk comes amid protests and boycotts of Tesla by liberal groups unhappy with Musk's alignment with conservative policies.Tesla's stock, which saw its worst day since 2020 on Monday, rebounded slightly after the event.While admiring Tesla's tech, Trump drew the line at a new model lacking a steering wheel, saying, “I'm going to pass on that.”An eagle-eyed photographer at the event noticed that the President's handwritten notes looked a lot like a sales pitch for Tesla, with phrases like “Teslas can be purchased as low as $299/month or $35K.”Ford has officially delivered over 140K NACS adapters to its EV customers. This move grants Ford EV drivers access to Tesla's vast Supercharger network, marking a major step toward simplifying public charging and expanding infrastructure options.The milestone follows Ford's 2023 announcement to integrate Tesla's Supercharger network into its ecosystem.Ford EVs now have access to over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers—up from 15,300 last year and Ford's BlueOval Charge Network has  over 180,000 chargers at over 50,000 locations, making it North America's largest public integrated charging networkIn February, Tesla Superchargers accounted for nearly 20% of Ford EV charging stops.Plus, Ford EV drivers using Apple CarPlay can now plan Tesla Supercharger stops directly in Apple Maps EV Routing, eliminating the need for a separate app.Southwest Airlines is making a major shift, announcing that starting May 28, it will charge for checked bags—ending its long-standing “bags fly free” policy. The change aims to boost profitability but may alienate loyal travelers.Only Rapid Rewards A-list members and business fare passengers will still get free checked bags.CEO Bob Jordan framed the move as part of an effort to attract new customers and improve profitability. Southwest has also announced plans to introduce assigned seating by 2025, revamp its fare structure, and expand its international routes to stay competitive.Southwest previously touted free checked bags as a key reason customers chose the airline.Delta CEO Ed Bastian sees an opening to attract Southwest passengers, saying, "Those customers aHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

The Headlines: Chef Richard Corrigan Critiques Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show – Read more Southwest Airlines To Charge For Checked Bags In Economy For First Time – Read more Chef Richard Corrigan Critiques Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show Celebrated chef Richard Corrigan, known for preparing meals for the Royal Family, isn’t impressed with Meghan Markle’s new Netflix cookery and lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan.

California is all very Hollywood, it's all very samey – Britain is not like that." Corrigan’s comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that the show feels "overly polished," while others have defended Meghan's attempt to share her passion for cooking and lifestyle tips.

Episode Notes Wyndham Hotels says it's still seeing strong demand for leisure and business travel despite economic uncertainty, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. CEO Geoff Ballotti said on Thursday that the company believes it won't see a decline in leisure travel demand during the fourth quarter and throughout 2025. Ballotti added a continued drop in interest rates would help boost leisure travel.  Next, Southwest Airlines reported it's seeing strong bookings for the holiday travel season and healthy demand, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Southwest also announced a truce with Elliott Investment Management, which had been pushing for changes at the airline. As part of the deal, it seems as though CEO Bob Jordan will remain in place. Maharishi reports that executives are upbeat on its new plan, which includes premium and assigned seating, red-eye flights, airline partnerships, and cutting capacity in underperforming areas.  Finally, tourists will no longer be allowed to book short-term rentals in large parts of Malaga, Spain, starting in early November, writes Global Travel Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Malaga's city council introduced new rules on Thursday prohibiting short-term rental registrations in 43 neighborhoods. The ban, which will last for up to five years, targets areas where more than 8% of homes are short-term rentals. Malaga joins Barcelona on the list of destinations worldwide to enact restrictions on short-term rentals in recent months.  For more travel stories and deep dives into the latest trends, head to skift.com.  Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.

Episode Notes Rome is considering introducing a reservation system to clamp down on overcrowding at Trevi Fountain, one of the world's most popular attractions, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Rome's Deputy Mayor of Tourism Alessandro Onorato wants to introduce a ticketing reservation system around the fountain to better manage the flow of visitors. Residents of the Italian capital would still be able to visit Trevi Fountain for free, but tourists would have to pay a two euro “symbolic fee.” Revenue would go toward stewards who would help protect the monument.   Rome's Deputy Mayor of Tourism Alessandro Onorato wants to introduce a ticketing reservation system around the fountain to better manage the flow of visitors.

Kelly will retire at the end of his term in 2025 following Southwest's annual shareholder meeting. The news comes after Southwest's board of directors met with Elliott Investment Management this week. Elliott, which has an 11% economic stake in the airline, has pushed for the resignations of Kelly and CEO Bob Jordan. The hedge fund has also called for other big changes at the struggling airline, including implementing baggage fees.  Finally, Skift Research recently unveiled its State of Travel 2024 report, an in-depth look at the industry. Senior Research Analyst Varsha Arora examines three standout charts for a closer look.  Arora notes a significant shift Skift Research has seen is the growing focus on experiences over material goods, which has boosted the demand for experiential travel. In addition, social media platforms are becoming an increasingly powerful tool not just for inspiration but for actual travel bookings. Skift Research found that 34% of travelers are very comfortable booking directly through social media platforms.  Meanwhile, the appeal of travel loyalty programs is diminishing, especially among younger travelers. Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.

Shoot us a Text.The dog days of summer are well upon us, and that means a great opportunity to love people more than cars. Today we're talking about Ford and Stellantis's Q2 earnings reports, GM's early EV issues that led to buybacks, and Southwest's shift to assigned seating.Show Notes with linksNot everyone can be GM, as Ford's income dropped 4.5% to $1.8 billion, despite a revenue increase of 6.4% to $47.8 billion, driven by strong commercial vehicle sales. Meanwhile, Stellantis's net income plummeted 48% to €5.6 billion in the first half of 2024, with operating margins falling below 10%.Ford's adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell 27% to $2.8 billion as CFO John Lawler cited $800 million in increased warranty expenses due to older vehicle recalls.Ford Pro division shined with $2.6 billion earnings and 15.1% profit margins, while the Model e EV unit reported a $1.1 billion loss.Stellantis struggled the most in North America, including an 18% shipment decline and price pressures.CFO Natalie Knight said “There are operational issues we have had in North America where I think we could have performed stronger,” suggesting measures like output and price cuts, inventory reductions, and cost-saving initiatives to address these operational issues.GM's Ultium vehicles have faced significant issues due to build quality and safety concerns, including fire risk, leading to buybacks and now reentry into the used market at steep discounts.Early 2023 and 2024 Chevy Blazer EVs suffered from software issues, leading to a stop sale, and the Cadillac Lyriq has had less publicized issues around problems with build quality, both leading to buybacksVehicles reacquired by GM in this process do show “Reacquired by Manufacturer” on the vehicle history report.Models like the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV RS and Cadillac Lyriq are now available at significant discounts, sometimes over $20,000 below original MSRP making an impact in the used car market.Southwest Airlines is making significant changes by moving away from its 50 year old policy of open seating. The airline will soon introduce assigned seating and premium options with extra legroom, aiming to appeal to a broader range of passengers and enhance profitability.Extensive testing has taken place, including simulations and employee trials, ensured the new boarding process would not slow down operations.The changes come as Southwest faces profitability challenges and competition from rivals with more extensive networks and high-end offerings.CEO Bob Jordan shared he expects it to generate over $1 billion in additional revenue selling extras like those that allow passengers to board sooner."This is the right change at the right time," stated CEO Bob Jordan, indicating confidence in the new strategy.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

CEO, Bob Jordan, explains what happened.

Southwest Airlines has announced a shift to assigned seating, changing its boarding process for the first time since 1967. This change arises from detailed research and customer feedback, showing 80% of current and 86% of potential customers prefer assigned seating. The airline plans to offer assigned and premium seating options on all flights, aiming to attract more travelers. Bob Jordan, President and CEO, confirmed that the change will impact many aspects of the company and follows hints of potential boarding changes after a lackluster Q1 2024 earnings report. Following the announcement, the airline's stock value rose by 6.4% in 24 hours. Specific details on the implementation will be revealed in September.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Presented by Brand USA Episode Notes A Microsoft executive believes Xbox can teach the travel industry several things about the customer experience, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes.  Shane O'Flaherty, a Microsoft executive who spoke this week at hospitality tech event HITEC, said Xbox has found ways to drive digital engagement with consumers. O'Flaherty explained that Xbox tracks every player's movement and constantly presents them content that will improve their experiences.  So how might that approach work in travel? O'Flaherty provided an example of a hotel that knows some guests love whiskey might create an impromptu tasting event and send a note about the event to those guests.  Next, activist investor Elliott Investment Management has blasted Southwest Airlines for its weaker second-quarter financial outlook, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Elliott, which took a nearly $2 billion stake in Southwest earlier this month, argued the carrier is led by a team unable to adapt to the modern airline industry. Elliott added that Southwest more or less admitted it was struggling to adjust to a new environment. The hedge fund has also been calling for major leadership changes at Southwest, including the resignations of CEO Bob Jordan and chair Gary Kelly.  Meanwhile, Maharishi notes Southwest expects to record operating revenues for the second quarter.  Finally, real estate investor Blackstone has acquired Village Hotels from private equity firm KSL Capital Partners.

The companies haven't revealed the price or deal terms, but O'Neill notes the transaction is valued at around $1 billion. The deal adds 33 properties to Blackstone's portfolio in the UK.

Weeks ago, we planned to discuss Southwest's underperformance — but so much has happened since then. Legacy-loving Southwest now has an activist investor, which bought more than 10 percent of company shares and has launched an effort to blow up the board and fire CEO Bob Jordan. Brett Snyder, Jon Ostrower and Brian Sumers discuss the post-pandemic state of Southwest that likely led Elliott Investment Management to make this play for control, and the play itself.

Presented by BrandUSA Episode Notes Airbnb recently said its average daily rates can be cheaper than those of hotels. But there are lot of factors to consider, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. The company said the average daily rate in March of a one-bedroom Airbnb worldwide was $114 while data firm CoStar reported the equivalent rate for a hotel room was $140. But Schaal notes there is a lot of nuance in those numbers, adding they don't include Airbnb cleaning fees, hotel resort fees or taxes.  In addition, Jan Freitag, a CoStar executive, said the issue of whether an Airbnb or a hotel room is cheaper depends on the market and time of the year, among other factors.  Next, Scandinavia is seeing a surge in tour and activity bookings for this summer in part due to the region's moderate climate, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz.  Data from GetYourGuide, Viator and TourRadar all indicate a significant jump in bookings compared to last year. The spike may be connected to traditionally popular destinations like Italy, Spain and Greece increasingly experiencing summertime heat waves and wildfires. Viator says Norway is the fastest-growing country in its portfolio while TourRadar reports bookings in Denmark and Sweden are surpassing average growth rates.  Finally, Southwest Airlines fares are now appearing on Google Flights, which had been considered unlikely, writes Airlines Reporter Megnha Maharishi.  Southwest said in a statement that it was looking to extend its reach, with Maharishi noting the carrier hadn't previously listed its fares on Google Flights or online travel agencies as a way to cut distribution costs. Southwest is also conducting an in-depth study into consumer preferences as it considers making more changes to its model. CEO Bob Jordan recently said that Southwest is weighing whether to implement assigned seating and add premium cabins to its fleet. Today's podcast looks at Airbnb prices, summer travel in Scandinavia, and booking Southwest on Google Flights.  Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

I am delighted today to speak with Bob Jordan, retired Emmy-Award-winning TV journalist and owner of Jordan & Jordan Communications, Inc. Bob has spent his distinguished career as a journalist reporting on the stories that shaped the news of the day for over 5 decades. But over the last 25 years, he has also taken on the worthy task of helping enterprising multigenerational families capture the stories of their ancestors and pass on their defining values and legacy to their descendants. For all of us in the private wealth and family office space, it is becoming increasingly apparent how important it is to be nurturing and building the human capital of the families we serve. Ensuring the people within the family, across all its generations, are engaged and flourishing is often more important – and more difficult – than securing and growing the family's financial capital. As FOX founder, Sara Hamilton, recently wrote, “Families have come to realize over time that preserving the family in the midst of wealth is more difficult than preserving the wealth.” There are many ways to engage and energize the family's human capital – family purpose and values, robust governance, formalized learning and education, and regular family meetings are just some of the established and reliable tools sophisticated families employ. Through his creative and profound experiences as a family videographer, Bob highlights the galvanizing and unifying power of one still relatively underused tool – family histories. Tune in to learn about the many ways and formats families can capture and pass on the stories of their origins and of their ancestors' formative journeys – from books to videography to heirlooms and artifacts to DNA analysis. Bob shares invaluable insights on how to get started recording family stories and how to select the service providers who can help guide the family through these complex, emotional, and sometimes even difficult discovery and storytelling projects. He offers priceless hard-learned lessons and proven recipes for overcoming the many challenges families face as they embark on the path of recording and passing the stories that comprise their family heritage. Most importantly, Bob illustrates with multiple examples from his long career as a family videographer, that the ultimate reward families enjoy as they successfully capture and convey their family histories is the shared purpose and meaning these stories instill among their family members across generations.

Bob Jordan shares how to identify your leadership style in order to help positvitley guide your company.

Southwest Airlines has cancelled nearly two thirds of its flights at the height of the holiday travel season, as its CEO Bob Jordan posted a video begging forgiveness from passengers — and Southwest employees; the Supreme Court upheld COVID border restrictions; and climate-conscious investment funds may face scrutiny from GOP lawmakers in the new term.

Morgan Brennan, Scott Wapner and Mike Santoli started the hour by breaking down the ongoing volatility around Tesla. Baird reiterated its “outperform” rating on the stock this morning, but lowered its price target to $252 from $316, the second price cut for Tesla in under a week. The anchors then shifted to the latest troubles for Southwest, as the stock continued to drop amid more flight cancellations. CEO Bob Jordan posted a video a last night, apologizing to his customers for the ongoing troubles saying he is “truly sorry.” Around the bells: they also mentioned AMC CEO Adam Aron asking his board of directors to freeze his salary in 2023 amid the company's sliding stock price.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the program with another large cap tech tumble: Facebook parent Meta Platfoms missing on earnings and disappointing Wall Street on guidance. The anchors reacted to Mark Zuckerberg's earnings call comments: He urged investors to be patient with his metaverse spending strategy. You'll want to hear Jim's eye-opening take on Meta. Two CEOs appeared on the program: Southwest Airlines' Bob Jordan on record revenue and stronger travel demand -- and ServiceNow's Bill McDermott on quarterly results that sent the stock up double-digits. Also in focus: GDP returns to growth in Q3, Elon Musk's tweet to Twitter advertisers on why he bought the company, blue chip earnings beats from the likes of Caterpillar and Honeywell, plus a breakdown of Credit Suisse's strategic overhaul.

Today's SWAPA number is 6. That's the number of months since Bob Jordan became CEO of Southwest Airlines. So on today's show, we talked to SWAPA president, Casey Murray, about how he feels things have changed, or not, since Bob took the job back on February 1st.

Bob Jordan is co-founder and head of leadership at interim execs based in Chicago. They specialize in placing leaders in the right positions at the right time. Bob is also co-author of the book Right Leader, Right Time. In our conversation, Bob talks about the importance of having the right people in the right positions and his recently published book, Right Leader, Time which he co-authored with Olivia Wagner.Here's a snapshot of our conversation:Bob discusses why the business world has become a lot more project-based and what that means for interim executives. We can't simply practice being better leaders. Ultimately we have to implement the skills we've learned.  What very successful executives do, especially if there's a crisis:  the first thing the leader needs to do is listen, and not just listen to the people on the board, but get down on the shop floor, get down to the administrative assistants, and listen, because this collective intelligence at most organizations, it's already there.  Bob breaks down the four styles of leaders, namely Fixer, Artist, Builder, and Strategist.The Fixer - this person is a leader who will keep returning to the burning building. The Fixer always needs a situation to fix or a problem to solve. If there is none? The Fixer will break something so that they have something to fix.  The Artist - this leader views their world like a canvas or a piece of clay to be molded. The Builder - A builder has market domination on the brain and can grow and scale a small team to dominate the industry or develop a particular product until it's the most popular product. The Strategist - The Strategist is a leader who can deal with complex and large organizations. Bob also discusses the three pillars someone needs to excel in leadership: 1. Embrace your particular leadership style. 2. Collaborate consistently. 3. Solve problems. If you enjoyed this conversation with Bob Jordan, please share it with another leader or aspiring leader. Let's support each other in becoming the great leaders that we know we are capable of being. Connect with Kele:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/ Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com 

Hone your craft of leadership. In this episode of the Elevate Your Leadership podcast Olivia Wagner and Bob Jordan discuss the four prevalent leadership styles that they identified in the many highly successful leaders they have worked with over the past 13 years. When a company is in chaos or decline, it's time to call a Fixer. Need a creative jolt? Call an Artist. If you are seeking new markets and big growth, hire a Builder. If you have reached complexity and scale, align with a Strategist. There is great value for any leader in this discussion. What is your highest and best use at this point in your career? Olivia and Bob have captured their observations and experiences form the past 13 years and coauthored a great book called Right Leader, Right Time. Take their leadership assessment at Right Leader.
