NYT Sees Southwest as “Flush with Success”

Dallas’ maverick Southwest Airlines is “flush with success” under its president, chairman and chief executive Gary Kelly, the New York Times reports. Kelly, by the way, was recently named Dallas-Fort Worth’s CEO of the Year by respondents to the the SMU Cox School’s 2010 CEO Sentiment Survey and honored at a D CEO event (pictured). Not bad for a mild-mannered bean counter who had to follow in Herb Kelleher’s footsteps.
