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.

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.
