Southwest's Wally Devereaux Retires

     It’s not without a tinge of sadness, complete respect and even a faint sense of loss, that we report that we learned today that Wally Devereaux Vice President Cargo & Provisions at Southwest Airlines Cargo will retire at the end of March 2025.
     It is no exaggeration to suppose that as long as Southwest Cargo has been in business, Wally Devereaux has been part of it.
     No doubt, this always affable and easy-to-do business with cargo executive has been a positive force for good, situate at the top longer than anybody else at a cargo-carrying airline,
     Not hard to understand why Wally has been a leader and key factor because when you talk to his customers, his team and others in this business, the discovery is that despite whatever else might be going on at the airline, Wally has been a steady hand that is up front and on the case in all manner.

     “I’m getting close to my 33rd year with Southwest Airlines with 25 of those being in the Cargo business,” Wally told me last November at The International Air Cargo Association TIACA Miami.
     “I began my career at Dallas Love Field Airport as a Customer Service Agent in February of 1992!
     “After stops in several different departments around the company, found my way to Cargo Sales in 1999.
     “It’s been an incredible journey.
     “What made the years work for me was doing what I can to help our cargo team provide an exceptional service.
     “We have delivered a determined passionate, truly amazing team of folks in cargo across our system. Am very thankful to have been a part of the team, and look forward to their continued success," Wally added.
     Wally is scheduled to appear at AirCargo 2025, beginning Sunday March 2 in Dallas.
