Crypto-fascist corporations. Will make all kinds of flimsy excuses for their actions but never acknowledge the 800-lb elephant that’s standing right in the room with them.

Maybe they should fire some more pilots and stewardesses.

The MSM sure does not want the world to know about the vaccine walkouts. But South West is suing over the mandates.

NO Airmets, Sigmets or Weather Advisories for at least 500 Miles from Florida

There are so many unanswered questions and missing critical details on this matter: Where are the majority of the cancellations? If it was FAA related labor issues it would have been any or every airline. If it was local, there is inclement weather reported in areas where outages impacted flights such as Northern Florida. If it’s the COVID vaccine mandate, there are several other airlines with the exact same compliance deadline of Dec 8th that have not had similar issues reported yet, and those unions are pretty well coordinated across the industry.

The Dallas-based airline had blamed air traffic control issues and weather for its weekend “operational challenges” that saw over 1,000 cancelled flights on Sunday alone. Southwest Airlines was the only airline to report the issues on that scale.

Looks like we’re in for a stretch of “bad weather”

Is it just me or has everything gone to sh*t since Biden moved in to the WH.

They likely don’t have enough pilots to man the flights.

If it was Air Traffic Controllers, all airlines would be effected.

Sent out over night to all Delta pilots

We have an Urgent Action Item for our PILOTS, but it requires ALL of our help.

The MEC has been directed by its members to hold a special meeting to further discuss the issue of mandatory vaccination and medical discrimination against Delta pilots. This meeting is going to be held from 09:00 to 17:00 on Wednesday, October 13th and from 09:00 to approximately noon on Thursday, October 14th at the DALPA HQ on the 7th floor of the Triumph Building, 100 Hartsfield Centre, Atlanta, GA 30354. (If you haven’t been there since you were a new hire, it’s a short walk from the Renaissance Concourse Hotel, which is easily accessible by hotel shuttle from the ATL airport.) We need maximum attendance by all Delta pilots opposed to mandatory vaccinations and medical discrimination. (If you can only be there one day, please try to make it the morning of the first day.) You may RSVP here. Your elected representatives still do not believe that this is an important issue for so many of us, and we need to show our support for the cause to convince them to do their jobs by defending ours.

We NEED to make our voices heard. To ALL of our Delta pilots we need as many of you in attendance as possible. To the rest of our employee group, we need YOU, to also help spread the word to any of our pilots that you know or work with. This meeting is crucial in our fight.

Our last order of business comes from the recent information of possible “sick outs” and “walk outs” across the industry. US Freedom Flyers put out a statement that we will paste below. We stand by, and agree with, USFF. Official Statement
We at US Freedom Flyers stand for medical freedom and informed consent, specifically when it comes to federal mandates coercing employees into getting a Covid-19 vaccine in order to keep one’s job. It is our position that this battle will be won in the court of public opinion and, if needed, a court of law.

This being said, we have been made aware there is an upcoming sickout planned for this week at multiple airlines. US Freedom Flyers unequivocally disavows and condemns any and all actions such as this. This type of activity hurts our passengers, hurts the companies we all work for, and does a great disservice to our stated goals.

The hard work we have all accomplished in a very short amount of time can be completely erased by actions such as these.

- Your Freedom Flyers Team

SWA used to be my #1 airline, even flew on it to Hawaii a few years ago. It’s so disappointing to witness the complete lies and falsehoods from the executive leadership on this one. Weather? BS. Complete lies is all we are getting from SWA.

We fly SWA tomorrow. When I go to the website to know flight status, I get an error message. My wife has cancer; we can’t stand in line for hours.

The media started by ignoring the COVID connection in their initial reports — except a passing acknowledgment of ‘earlier layoff’ during the ‘pandemic’. Today they are out-and-out denying a COVID-link. I wonder how they will portray Southwest’s problems by mid-week?

871 Firefighters File Intent to Sue Over LA City’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

Donald Trump Jr.

American media have blacked out the massive anti-mandate protests overseas so the Southwest strike might come as a surprise, but it’s not to anyone who’s been watching the pro-freedom uprisings around the world. More to come.

I read a story yesterday that the Southwest Pilot's Union of 7000 pilots has filed a lawsuit against Southwest in regard to the vaccine MANDATE by the company.

This may be the "thunder" before the storm.

Southwest needs to be held accountable for falsely blaming whether and ATC for flight delays. They did this, I’m sure, to avoid FAA Rule 214 or whatever it is about airline responsibility for the impact of flight delays and cancellations. Make them pay! Every aspect of their Covid hysteria should cost them dearly.
