Nope, I don't think so. I think Atlas is beginning to shrug. When he really does, look out.

Total chaos and empty grocery shelves are not Atlas Shrugged, they are exactly what the Left/Commies need to get their revolution.

May they bite off more than they can chew and then choke on it.

NOt sure how the pilots can just keep operating. Or why. It appears that Southwest is very happy to comply with the administration’s wishes.

Hard to ignore if security escorts you out, takes your badge, etc.

These people are not ignoring it...they are fighting it.

Just read Boeing is laying of 125,000.

Seems to me that we have the planned destruction of the border, and now planned destruction of the travel industry, transportation industry, health care industry. I think they and we ignore it at our peril.

I think the widespread, visceral knowledge that Xiden stole the election has triggered what amounts to a general strike. Xiden could have kept his foul mouth shut about the vaccine, and tens of millions more people would have voluntarily taken it by now. President Trump did. So did every GOP governor. Xiden wants conflict instead because he thinks that yields “change,” just like the Marxist dialectic says...

I think …or hope…it’s started. I hope they can keep the momentum going and more people will join.

Either the government will see the light and back off or it will get more savage and things will explode. But whatever happens, life cannot go on this way.

Massive disruptions. That’s the goal, I think. We are entering a period of impoverishment of the middle class, considered necessary for the Revolution which has already seized the heights.

Exactly what the Communists want. Massive disruption. It’s all by plan . . . or should I say, Plandemic.

We need folks like this to push for us.

They have clout because they cannot be done without.

So how would you deal with it? Take the jab and shut up? Or fight back.

If the Fed’s want to play hard ball they can. In the pilot’s case each and every one of them must have a valid FAA issued licence. The Fed’s could just as easily say no vax ok your pilot’s licence is revoked until you do get vaxed. Ending the careers of those pilot’s. Then the FAA could lower the flight hours needed to hold a captain’s cert from 1500 to 250 or less like a lot of countries do already opening up the pool to the pilots who are vaxed and would like the promotion in pay and status. Airlines also hold Fed FAA licences as well for a while slew of things. The Fed’s could also revoke those for any airline not in compliance and put an airline out of business. Lawsuits will take month’s to get to district courts and month’s more to get to the USSC if they even grant standing. The Fed’s have unlimited funds and time something individuals and businesses don’t have. Shutting down an airline for even a month would drive them to chapter 11. How long could a pilot not get paid with no valid FAA figthe cert before they lose their homes and also file bankruptcy. The Fed’s could also nationalize the ATC and airline’s which would put them as federal employees subject to the existing EO. The Fed’s could get nasty if they want with little anyone can do about it short of taking up arms.

Total chaos and empty grocery shelves are the inevitable result of communism. That's what history has shown. They do their best to pretend it isn't, but it is.

I disagree. They don't want disruption. They want the illusion that everything is fine as they take control of more and more behind the scenes. Disruption indicates that some are fighting back. Disruption means that they are failing.

Corporate America has already signed on with whatever Brandon told them “build back better” was going to be.

They are banking on being the winners in a fascist new world order, complete with compulsory "customers".

“I’m betting the elites didn’t factor in a pushback.”

I’m sure you’re right. We never have pushed back in the past, so the elites never even considered that possibility.

Yes, that is their standard mode / model but

as their diabolical plans fail they

will foment total chaos and anarchy

I am not actually disagreeing with the pilots actions just that

the destruction of our functioning institutions is their endgame

All good points, and viable enforcement actions. An alternative, and easier path for the Feds to follow would be thru the medical certificate. To be an airline captain, several requirements must be met. One is experience, 1500 flight hours min, an Airline Transport Rating, issued by the FAA, and a First Class medical certificate. The First Class cert is issued/re-issued every six months, after an AME conducts a physical exam of the pilot. There are minimum requirements to pass the physical, EKG, vision, etc...The FAA could very easily require that in order to be issued a First Class cert, the applicant/pilot must produce a vaxx cert at the time the physical is administered, or no cert will be issued. No First Class med, no left seat..period.

I hope the Feds cave, but as you stated and I agree, to say the pilots hold all the cards, is disingenuous at best.
