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.
There is a rumor that American Airlines is next. A rolling sickout?
Southwest pilots are the best and the brightest. Everyone knows that. It’s why they choose to fly for south west. The airline with the best operating model. Different from all the others
So every week now a Fortune 50 has some sort of major service disruption or outrage. Sounds like a 3rd world country.
#9 ...If it was local, there is inclement weather reported in areas where outages impacted flights such as Northern Florida.
Southwest did not want their airplanes to get wet.....
