April 22 (UPI) -- United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz will not ascent to the role of company chairman after a high-profile public relations debacle.
United Continental Holdings, the airlines' parent company, said in a public filing Munoz asked that the terms of his employment be changed so he will not be chairman of the board of directors. The filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission did not say Munoz would not ascend to the role, but rather "future determinations related to the chairman position" would be left to the "discretion of the board." Munoz was expected to take the role of chairman at the company's 2018 annual stockholder meeting.
