MORE: United says CEO Munoz initiated the change to his contract that granted him the chairmanship of the company in 2018.

CNBC (@CNBC) April 21, 2017

The sudden change comes after Uniteds reputation plummeted following a recent series of public relations missteps, including a video that showed a passenger being violently dragged off a plane .

Senate members demanded the company explain its actions, but United missed an April 20 deadline to do so. The company said its would have answers by April 27.
