Further, it’s been confirmed now that the mass “sickout” was a result of the vaccine mandates.

Airline sources: mass “sickout” @FAANews center in Jacksonville – caused ripple effect and 1000+ flight cancellations mostly effecting @SouthwestAir – report “sickout” protesting #VaccineMandate

— Leland Vittert (@LelandVittert) October 10, 2021

For context, Southwest Airlines has been in a running battle with its pilots’ union over a coming vaccine mandate. A lawsuit has now been filed alleging it is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement. According to one passenger, and many other accounts floating around on social media, that’s behind the walkout that saw the cancellation of over 1000 flights on Saturday.

Any pilot that gets the mRNA vax is at risk of committing career suicide if there is an adverse reaction. Maybe for real suicide because flying can be a bad environment for complications

Southwest Airlines crews are walking out and so are FAA air traffic controllers. This is just the beginning.

I’m going to speculate that a majority of SWA’s customers are deplorables who are largely in solidarity with the employees [and used to be in Solidarity with the SWA management].

As far as I am concerned, you are correct.

I can remember when Southwest Airlines was a well run company with a management that made sensible decisions. Not so anymore I guess. Without Air Traffic Controllers anyone who flys is taking their life in their hands.

The ludicrously simplistic statement, “The vaccines are safe”, is used everywhere to try to convince employees to stop resisting and get the shot. But if that statement is true, then it means we never again need more than four months of clinical trials before approving a drug or vaccine. If four months was enough to justify injecting every person on Earth with the first-ever use of mRNA technology in humans, then there cannot possibly be justification for taking ten years the next time some headache medicine or antacid or some such comes before the FDA for approval. Heck, those kinds of mundane drugs should fly through approval in a day if it only takes four months for mRNA-based COVID “vaccines.”

Burn it down.

Then tee up American, United, Delta, and JetBlue.

This actually raises a question my hospital workers haven’t gone on strike to protest the firing of their colleagues.

They're not paying much attention to the goings on in their forums
