Corporate Governance | Case/Opinion | An appropriate response


An appropriate response.

Please prepare your arguments about this case for and against terminating his employment as a first step in restoring the reputation of your airline.

You sit on the Board of Directors of a major airline that just experienced a horrendous customer service event. 

A severe snowstorm stranded several of your planes and caused a ripple effect throughout your flight schedule, stranding thousands of passengers at airports across the country and keeping dozens of passengers as virtual hostages on planes for several hours as they waited for departure slots at their airport. 

The press has covered this fiasco at length and is already calling for a passenger bill of rights that will be based primarily on all the things your airline didn’t do to take care of its’ passengers in this situation. 

Your CEO is the founder of the airline, and he has been featured in many of your commercials raving about the high level of customer service you deliver. 

The board is meeting to review his continued employment with the company.
