Southwest Airlines pilots will be required to complete additional training following a series of safety incidents that triggered a review by U.S. regulators.
Bloomberg, which obtained the company memo, reports that these one-day training sessions are designed to facilitate discussions among crew members about specific incidents and enhance collaboration for better risk management. The airline plans to begin the additional training sessions at its Dallas headquarters in November with sessions continuing into next year.
“Over the past few months, we have seen an increase in safety events,” the memo noted. It went on to highlight that “meaningful work is underway to address these events and advance our safety.”
