mr. jordan. with that, you may proceed. >> good morning, chairman and ranking members and distinguished members of the committee. i am senior vice president of customer experience at american airlines. thank you for inviting me to talk with you about american airlines' focus. on improving customer service. american airlines a global airline operating nearly 7,000 daily flights to 350 destinations in 50 countries. our mission is to validate the trust placed in us by our customers, team members and other stake holders. there's no question that travel can be stressful and disruptions will occur. when they do, we first deliver a resolution to our customers, we commit to finding the root cause and incorporate those learnings quickly. it's this process that leads to continuous improvement at american airlines. we work in a business that relies on people serving people. with 120,000 team members who are spread around the globe, it will be difficult to avoid inconsistency and occasionally falling short.

mr. jordan same question. mr. jordan: yes, sir. we measure every single day on every single flight the customer satisfaction around not just the flight, but every point in the journey. how was your buying experience? your boardsing experience. your gate experience. your in-flight experience. we use that to provide feedback to constantly improve. rep. banden: i appreciate that very much. i'm going to run out of time so i have other things i'd like to address. in terms -- we've talked about ticket change costs. i think on the other side of the aisle, they mentioned amazing differences in cost between changing a ticket. some, is either free, $15. some of them $200 to $300. and i'm very disappointed in the differences between that especially with some of the , airlines that i fly most frequently. and i would hope that would be a more uniform cost to the passengers. as a former private pilot myself, used to love airplanes and love airports. but it's gotten to be a very onerous task since i fly about six, seven hours a week. and i'd like

mr. bob jordan and executive vice president and chief commercial officer of southwest airlines, and senior vice president of customer experience for american airlines and mr. william j. mcgee and aviation consumers union. i look forward to hearing your testimony and to working with you in the coming months and i ask that our witnesses' full stapts be included in the record and without objection, so ordered. since your written testimony has been made part of the the committee asked that you would limit your oral testimony to five minutes and with that, mr. munoz, you may proceed. >> microphone. >> thank you, chairman schuster. >> and you might want to pull it a little closer to you. >> thank you, sir. better? >> yes, sir. >> thank you, and ranking member defazio, thank you as well as all members of the committee. we thank you for the opportunity to address the committee on this as equally important matter to us as you said, my name is oscar munoz, i am the ceo of united airlines and with me is our president, scott kirby. the reason i'm sitting here today -- >> could you pull the mike a litt

mr. jordan? >> i think i'm speaking for southwest, so many things are going right, particularly on the customer service side. the nps scores, how we measure service, are the best they've been in the last three years, 11 points higher. otp is 11 points higher, m mishandled bag rates are the lowest they've been in the history of our company. the complaint ratios, even though we plane 11% more customers than three years ago, they are nominally lower today. so i think a lot is going very well on the customer service side and just briefly you mentioned seats, we are in the middle of retrofitting quite a bit of the new fleet with a new seat and that seat is actually wider with better effective pitch, so the sort of personal room for the customer is actually getting better. so i think there are a number of things that are going better for the customer in terms of customer experience. we've increased our team members' compensation by an average of more than 35%. we've added 100 new routes and our team me
