30. CASE STUDY
#1.Southwest Airlines
• How can an airline survive a government order to ground its entire fleet and
shut down for days? After 9/11, all U.S. airlines were faced with this same
crisis.
• One that succeeded through the difficulty was Southwest Airlines, already
known for its outstanding customer service. Southwest’s passengers, flight
attendants, pilots and ground crews were stranded all across the country
after the terrorist attacks.
• But unlike their competition, Southwest’s leadership did more than just sit
and wait. They encouraged employees to leverage their trademark fun
approach to business and to help stranded customers enjoy themselves at
the movies or the local bowling alley.

31. • And when the ramifications of the shutdown forced other airlines
to cut staff, Southwest’s then-CEO, James Parker, announced
just three days after 9/11 that the company would be keeping all
of its employees, as well as issuing a profit-sharing payment.
