Org change coming in June
Looks like they are rebadging 50-60 to Qentelli in the QMO area. Layoffs on the way.
Topping the lists in 2026, per wsj:
Southwest Airlines ranked first in the WSJ's 2025 airline scorecard, marking its first win since 2020 and ending Delta's four-year streak at the top.
• Southwest excelled with the fewest customer complaints and tarmac delays, and was second best in on-time arrivals and cancellation rates.
• American and Frontier tied for last place because of significant reliability issues, with American's cancellation rate rising to 2.2%.
@OP Have it on good authority from the head of a large consulting company that layoffs similar to the ones in Jan of 2025 are coming in Jan of 2026.
