Southwest Airlines COO Andrew Watterson is preparing to face questions during a Senate hearing next week over the airline’s holiday meltdown, CNBC’s Leslie Josephs reports. The carrier said Watterson will be there because the hearing date overlapped with a "previous commitment" for CEO Bob Jordan, the author notes. The company noted in a statement that the COO intends to "use the opportunity to explain how we’ve taken actions to make things right for our Customers since Southwest’s late December disruption, as well as what we’re doing to mitigate the risk of it happening again."
