Pilots at Southwest Airlines are protesting their company’s move to require Covid vaccinations, even though the company and their own union deny it.

It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that pilots at Southwest Airlines are protesting their company’s move to require Covid vaccinations, even though the company and their own union denies it. Over the past weekend, Southwest was forced to cancel over 1800 flights:

The Dallas-based carrier canceled over 1,000 flights Sunday and 808 flights Saturday equivalent to 27 per cent of its entire schedule for the day, over the Columbus Day holiday weekend.

Prior to the arrival of Covid, Southwest was the largest carrier of passengers in the United States. I don’t know if that is still the case because the pace of recovery of airline operations has been uneven. But undeniably, Southwest is a major presence in domestic air travel.
